THIS  BOOK,  dedicated  as  a  Memorial  Volume  to  the  men  of  the  First  and 
Second  Fort  Sheridan  Training  Camps,  who  gave  their  lives  to  the  cause 
of  Liberty  and  Justice,  is  issued  with  the  fervent  hope  that  it  may,  in  a  small 
measure,  convey  tribute  to  those  gallant  sons  of  the  Middle  West  whom  we 
knewT  and  loved. 

Many  willing  hands  have  had  to  do  with  the  compiling  and  gathering  of 
material  and  data  herewith  presented,  and  the  work,  which  has  been  over  a 
year  in  prepration,  is  one  in  which  no  effort  has  been  spared. 

Thanks  are  first  due  to  the  officers  and  directors  of  the  Fort  Sheridan 
Association,  that  organization  born  of  necessity  during  the  Second  Camp,  for 
the  broad  and  liberal  aid  which  made  this  book  possible.  To  the  mothers  and 
fathers  of  the  lads  who  "Went  West  ',  the  Fort  Sheridan  Association  presents 
a  copy;  and  to  every  member  of  the  Association  a  volume  will  be  donated. 
The  cost  of  which  comes  out  of  the  Association  treasury. 

Mrs.  Chester  M.  MacChesney,  director  of  the  Home  Service  Department 
of  the  Fort  Sheridan  Association,  has  patiently  and  faithfully  gathered  photo- 
graphs and  data  covering  the  records  of  the  Roll  of  Honor. 

Colonel  Halsted  Dorey,  w^ho  commanded  the  Fourth  Infantry  overseas, 
and  who,  under  the  direction  of  Major-General  Leonard  Wood,  was  one  of 
the  most  indefatigable  workers  for  training  camps  throughout  the  United 
States,  has  aided  the  work  with  a  short  synopsis  of  the  Training  Camp 
Movement. 

To  Myron  E.  Adams,  who,  more  than  any  other  man,  has  made  the  Fort 
Sheridan  Association  what  it  is  today,  and  who,  as  Director  of  Morale  during 
the  Second  Training  Camp,  did  so  much  to  keep  up  the  spirit  of  clean  sports 
and  healthy  recreation  and,  as  executive  secretary  of  the  Fort  Sheridan 
Association,  carried  on  the  great  work  of  the  organization  while  the  members 
were  in  service,  the  compiler  is  greatly  indebted  for  the  cheerful  co-operation 
given. 

To  Waldo  M.  Allen,  a  member  of  the  First  Battery  of  the  First  Camp,  for 
his  descriptive  word  picture  of  the  First  Training  Camp. 

To  the  International  Film  Company  and  the  Chicago  Daily  News  for 
their  hearty  co-operation  in  securing  the  photographs  of  the  training  camp 
days. 

And  last,  but  not  least,  to  the  many  individuals  who  furnished  informa- 
tion when  all  other  sources  seemed  futile. 

If  this  Memorial  Book,  in  its  way,  conveys  a  bit  of  human  companionship 
and  carries  with  it  a  breath  of  friendship  from  those  who  served  to  those 
whose  loved   ones  sleep  o'erseas  and   at  home,   its  labor  shall   not   have  htvMi 

in  vain.

A  GREATER  GIFT 


By   Charlotte   Becker 

When    on   the    clamorous   battlefield 

The    captain    fell, 
Men   said,    "How   great    his    sacrifice 

No   words  may   tell." 

Ah,   well,   they   did   not   know,    those   sons 

Of    drum    and    fife 

He  did  but  give  his  death,   w^hile  one 

Gives    all    her   life. 


Introduction 


The  Power  of  a  Nation 
Is  Its  Trained  Manhood 


By 

BRIGADIER-GENERAL  JAMES  A.  RYAN 

Commanding   Second    Camp 


BRIGADIER-GENERAL  JAMES   A.   RYAN 
Commanding  Second  R.   O.  T.   C.   at  Fort  Sheridan 


THIS  IS  THE  RECORD  of  the  men  from  Fort  Sheridan,  'the  minute  men 
of  the  Great  War",  who  were  torn  from  desk  and  w^orkshop  and  thrown  in 
a  camp  to  learn  the  rudiments  of  soldiering  in  the  shortest  possible  time  to 
save  our  country  from  a  foreign  foe.  Almost  tw^o  precious  years  were  allowed 
to  pass  w^ith  the  w^hole  world  aflame,  yet  no  attempt  was  made  to  prepare  for 
the  conflict  that  w^e  had  to  enter  to  save  civilization. 

They  came  as  students,  these  full  grow^n  men,  and  became  pupils  again 
under  school  masters.  They  sat  at  the  feet  of  anyone  who  could  show  them 
this  game  of  war,  this  life  and  death  game  that  was  thrust  upon  us.  They  were 
filled  with  the  zeal  of  crusaders,  for  they  felt  the  call,  the  Nation's  call  to  them 
for  sacrifice. 

No  men  ever  responded  more  cheerfully  or  conformed  to  rigid  military 
discipline  with  better  grace  than  these  same  student  soldiers.  They  worked 
hard  for  the  prize  of  being  a  commissioned  officer,  and  their  application  was 
thorough  because  each  one  realized  that  to  omit  anything  might  be  fatal  to 
him  at  a  critical  moment. 

The  graduates  of  Fort  Sheridan  have  justified  every  prophecy  made  of 
them.  The  lessons  they  learned  at  Fort  Sheridan  they  applied  at  Chateau 
Thierry,  Belleau  Woods,  and  the  Argonne  Forest.  They  entered  every  branch 
of  the  service;  they  acquitted  themselves  w^ith  honor;  they  w^ere  marked  men 
because  they  reflected  in  the  army  the  lessons  taught  them  at  Fort  Sheridan. 

This  could  be  accomplished  only  because  of  the  class  of  men  sent  to  Fort 
Sheridan  and  the  spirit  of  devotion  to  the  cause  they  carried  in  their  hearts. 
The  pity  of  it  all  is  the  sacrifice  they  were  called  upon  to  make,  on  the  altar  of 
their  country. 

The  task  set  for  the  men  of  Fort  Sheridan  they  accomplished.  They  paid 
the  price  exacted  and  these  pages  record  the  heroic  deeds  performed  by  those 
w^ho  have  gone  beyond,  but  there  is  still  another  task  undone  which  remains 
for  those  who  have  survived  to  make  sure  that  those  who  died  have  not  died 
in  vain.  The  greatest  monument  that  can  be  dedicated  to  their  honor  and 
the  only  one  great  enough  for  their  sacrifice  is  "A  law  enacted  that  will  forever 
prevent  the  necessity  for  such  sacrifices  in  the  future.  "  You  owe  it  to  your 
sons,  your  grandsons,  and  all  coming  generations,  that  the  lessons  taught  by 
this  war  w^ill  not  pass  unheeded.  You  owe  it  to  yourself,  and  to  your  country, 
to  train  the  youth  of  this  land  so  that  in  any  crisis  that  arises  where  resort  to 
arms  must  govern,  our  young  men  will  be  trained  in  their  youth  in  those 
elements  of  military  life  that  w^ill  enable  them  to  join  the  colors  at  once  should 
they  be  called. 


14  IXTRODUCTIOX 


Drive  the  lesson  home  to  everyone,  make  our  people  understand  it, 
educate  them  to  the  necessity  of  saving  this  country  from  wars  and  rumors  of 
wars,  place  the  task  on  the  shoulders  of  all  and  the  burden  will  be  light. 

With  this  accomplished,  our  fallen  student  officers  will  sleep  in  peace. 
Their  reward  will  be  a  prosperous  nation,  a  w^ar  free  nation. 

Those  w^ho  have  been  so  fortunate  as  to  have  passed  through  this  awful 
struggle  and  lived,  let  them  spread  the  gospel  of  "Preparedness'  ,  let  them 
remind  their  forgetful  neighbors  that,  behind  all  agreements,  behind  all  treaties, 
behind  all  League  of  Nations  or  Hague  Tribunals,  there  must  be  organized 
power  to  compel  obedience.  This  power  of  a  nation  is  its  trained  manhood; 
without  it  we  have  to  petition  for  peace,  with  it  we  dictate  peace.

Association

RIENDSHIP  and  Necessity  were  the  parents  of  the  Fort  Sheridan  Asso- 
ciation. Long  before  the  actual  organization  was  born  and  given  a 
name,  the  way  w^as  being  prepared. 


The  Spring  of  1917  brought  to  Fort  Sheridan  thousands  of  men  who 
had  much  in  common.  They  had  not  waited.  They  had  all  stepped  out  of 
business,  professions,  colleges,  and  placed  themselves  at  the  disposal  of  the 
Government.  They  differed  a  great  deal  in  age,  ability,  experience,  and  in 
other  respects,  but  when  they  were  packed  aw^ay  in  the  barracks  at  night  or 
marched  away  on  a  hike  by  day,  the  past  w^as  erased  and  men  w^ere  measured 
w^ithin  the  companies  by  w^hat  they  had  in  their  personalities,  not  by  what 
the  outside  civilian  said  of  them. 

Never  were  men  subjected  to  a  more  careful  personal  scrutiny  than  in 
these  companies.  Corporal  Common  Sense  or  General  Ridicule  warned  each 
candidate  daily  against  depending  for  his  position  upon  something  that  his 
family  had  done  or  he  had  accomplished  before  enlisting. 

It  was  a  wholesome  atmosphere.  Men  tried  to  w^in  respect  by  doing 
their  best  and  show^ing  their  strongest  side,  realizing  that  progress  and  oppor- 
tunity depended  largely  upon  the  good  w^ill  of  their  associates. 

In  these  close  associations,  men  came  to  know  each  other.  They  found 
out  some  of  the  difficulties  that  lay  behind  the  daily  routine.  They  rubbed 
elbow^s,  not  merely  on  the  march,  but  in  some  of  the  quiet  hours  w^hen  they 
visited  with  their   "bunkies." 

Here  is  one  illustration — there  were  hundreds  more.  Two  men  bunked 
side  by  side — one,  a  carpenter  by  trade,  came  from  a  small  village  up  North; 
the  other,  a  leading  young  business  man,  from  a  large  city.  As  they  worked 
together  a  real  friendship  developed  and   a  mutual  understanding. 

In  the  course  of  their  training  the  business  man  learned  a  great  deal  from 
the  carpenter,  who  had  military  experience  and  real  qualities  of  leadership, 
and  the  carpenter  was  never  too  tired  to  explain  everything  to  him.  Both 
were  reticent  about  their  personal  affairs,  but  one  night  the  business  man 
knew  that  his  "bunkie"  was  in  trouble.  The  carpenter  rolled  sleeplessly  on 
his  cot.  Early  the  next  morning  the  business  man  took  him  aside  and  made 
him  explain.      This  w^as  what  he  found  out: 

The  carpenter  had  left  a  sickly  wife  and  two  children  at  home  in  order 
to  come  to  Fort  Sheridan.  His  wife  had  been  in  the  hospital.  One  of  the 
children  was  sick  and  funds  were  exhausted.  The  paltry  $100  a  month 
which  the  candidate  received,  without  an  allowance  of  quarters  of  the  family, 
w^ould  not  meet  his  obligations.      He  must  resign. 


18 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION' 

The  business  man  went  to  see  the  commander  of  the  company,  told  him 
the  circumstances,  and  asked  permission  to  have  his  pay  given  each  month 
to  his  "bunkie,"  explaining  that  he  regarded  his  experienced  services  as  im- 
portant enough  to  justify  the  Captain  urging  him  not  to  resign. 

This  the  company  commander  did,  and  when  he  told  the  carpenter  that 
his  "bunkie"  wanted  his  monthly  pay  placed  to  his  account,  he  hesitated  for 
a  moment  and  said.  "If  he  can  afford  to  do  it,  I  will  take  it,  although  I 
wouldn't  take  it  from  any  one  else,  for  we  are  both  in  the  same  boat  and  he 
understands." 

And  the  businesss  man  thought  of  the  hundreds  and  thousands  he  had 
spent  in  pleasure  in  this  and  other  lands  and  realized  that  he  never  had  either 
the  same  pleasure  or  the  same  spirit  of  giving  through  all  his  experiences. 

At  the  close  of  the  camp,  both  these  men  were  commissioned.  The 
carpenter  completed  the  service  as  a  major  and  so  did  the  business  man,  but 
back  of  that  they  both  came  out  with  a  better  understanding  of  life:  a  broader 
mutual  kindliness. 

Through  the  course  of  the  months  the  necessity  and  the  spirit  increased. 
Men  who  were  to  share  the  hazards  of  battle  w^ere  not  merely  involving  them- 
selves, but  thousands  of  others — Mothers  and  Fathers — Wives  and  Sisters. 

Sometimes  you  would  see  a  little  w^oman  come  into  the  camp  from  a 
distance.  Her  little  children  were  with  her.  There  was  a  look  of  pride  as  the 
long  lines  swept  by.  There  was  a  rush  of  tender  embrace  when  the  ranks 
w^ere  broken  and  the  father  greeted  the  new^  arrivals,  and  there  was  an  equal 
touch  of  sadness  when   they  departed. 

Sometimes  you  would  see  a  man,  silent,  apart,  troubled.  Investigation 
would  show  that  he  was  not  afraid  of  the  battle  line,  he  was  not  above  going 
as  a  private  if  he  did  not  w^in  a  commission,  but  he  could  not  shake  off  the 
anxiety  about  those  whom  he  should  leave  behind. 

Worry  and  anxiety  are  the  worst  foe  the  soldier  faces.  They  handicap 
him  from  the  start.  If  he  is  an  officer,  they  affect  his  intelligent  direction  of 
his  men,  his  ability  to  grasp  situations,  as  w^ell  as  the  spirit  which  he  imparts 
to  those  w^ho  serve  with  him.  His  depression  becomes  not  merely  a  personal 
inconvenience,  but  a  severe  handicap  to  all  his  men. 

He  accepts  the  risks  of  battle,  the  discomforts  of  camp,  as  the  fortunes 
of  war,  but  when  he  faces  the  anxiety  for  the  ones  he  left  behind  him,  that 
is  another  question.  There  is  where  he  must  have  real  friends.  The  organ- 
ization of  the  army  did  not  contemplate  this.  But  there  was  nothing  in  the 
regulations  to  say  it  should  not  exist. 

When  the  Fort  Sheridan  Association  idea  was  suggested  to  the  leaders 
in  the  Regular  Army,  they  were  immediately  its  strong  backers.  They  appre- 
ciated the  thought  of  linking  together  the  friendship  of  leaders  for  the  mutual 
protection  and  encouragement  of  the  family;  of  caring  for  both  the  fighting 
edge  of  a  man  and  for  the  relations  which  he  can  never  leave  behind  him,  go 
w^here  he  may.

20 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

The  Fort  Sheridan  Association  was  the  outgrowth  of  this  fraternal  spirit 
as  well  as  the  practical  disposition  to  develop  every  factor  possible  which 
could  help  men  through  the  period  of  their  actual  services. 

With  no  precedent  to  guide  them  except  the  peculiar  problems  which 
emerged  as  their  training  period  closed  or  loomed  up  in  the  more  trying  days 
ahead,  the  men  of  the  two  camps  agreed  to  form  a  great  fighting  fraternity 
which  would  serve  as  a  means  of  combining  their  strength  for  more  efficient 
service. 

Colonel  James  A.  Ryan,  Commanding  Officer  of  the  Second  Reserve 
Officers"  Training  Camp,  after  consulting  with  representative  leaders  of  the 
First  Camp,  selected  officers  who  had  been  trained  in  the  First  Camp  to 
represent  every  company,  every  officer  being  a  graduate  of  the  company  which 
he  represented.  In  addition,  he  instructed  each  company  of  the  Second  Camp 
to  elect  a  delegate,  to  meet  jointly  in  an  executive  session  to  complete  arrange- 
ments for  a  permanent  association. 

These  delegates  met  on  November  2,  1917,  and  organized  the  Fort 
Sheridan  Association.  Several  subsequent  meetings  were  held  by  the  com- 
mittee, which  resulted  in  the  preparation  of  a  constitution  and  by-laws  and 
the  adoption  of  the  following  plan  of  operation.

ITS     HISTORY     AND     ACHIEVEMENTS 21 

On  November  7th  the  representatives  met  and  adopted  the  plan.  On 
November  1 4th  a  meeting  of  all  candidates  was  held,  the  constitution  was 
adopted,   and  the   following  officers  were  elected: 

Col.   James  A.   Ryan,   President  and  Director. 

Maj.    Philip  Fox,    First  Vice-President — Representing   Illinois  men. 

Capt.  J.  Brooks  Nichols,  Second  Vice-President — Representing  Michigan 

and   Wisconsin   men. 
Maj.    J.    W.    E.    Taylor,    Third    Vice-President RepresenLing    Colorado 

and  Missouri  men. 
Maj.  William  I.  Shuman,  Secretary  and  Director. 
Lt.  John  A.  Broeksmit,  Treasurer. 

Capt.  Myron  E.  Adams,  Chairman,  Board  of  Directors. 
Maj.  Henry  B.  Gale,  Director. 
Lt.  James  C.  Hutchins,  Jr.,  Director. 
Maj.  A.  A.  Sprague,   II,  Director. 
Capt.  John  A.  Stevenson,  Director. 

The  follow^ing  day  the  men  were  called  together  by  Regiments  and  were 
addressed  by  Colonel  Ryan  on  the  purposes  of  the  organization.  They  were 
given  an  opportunity  to  join  and  to  pay  their  annual  membership  fee,  and 
practically  every  man  at  the  camp  joined  at  this  time. 

The  closing  days  of  camp  w^ere  busy  days.  Many  practical  problems 
pressed  upon  the  men.  One  of  the  largest  w^as  the  high  cost  of  equipment. 
TTie  newly-commissioned  officer  had  to  purchase  all  of  his  equipment.  Noth- 
ing could  be  had  from  the  quartermasters.  Each  man  had  to  go  into  the 
open  market  and   purchase  what  he  needed  within  a  week  after  graduation. 

Some  1,600  men  were  commissioned  and  ordered  to  foreign  service; 
about  1,500  were  assigned  to  divisions  then  in  training  at  home.  The  aver- 
age cost  of  complete  equipment  for  foreign  service  was  $500,  so  that  the 
total  purchases  of  these  men  would  amount  to  a  million  and  a  half  dollars. 

The  Fort  Sheridan  Association,  as  its  first  work,  arranged  to  substitute 
collective  buying  for  the  individual  purchasing.  Myron  E.  Adams,  Director 
of  Morale,  was  instructed  by  Col.  James  A.  Ryan  to  make  such  an  arrangement 
for  the  men.  A  representation  of  every  company  was  called  together,  a  com- 
plete list  of  all  purchases  necessary  was  made.  Men  were  selected  who  were 
familiar  with  making  such  purchases  on  a  big  scale.  Harry  Kimbark,  of  the 
Sixteenth  Company,  was  made  Chairman  of  this  Committee  and  they  rushed 
into  Chicago  to  tackle  the  job.  It  was  the  first  big  skirmish  of  the  Fort 
Sheridan  men  and  they  came  back  with  the  report  that  they  had  made  arrange- 
ments with  various  Chicago  stores  whereby  a  deduction  of  practically  I  5  per 
cent  would  be  made  on  all  purchases.  In  cases  where  purchases  had  been 
made,  that  part  would  be  returned.  In  the  first  three  days  of  its  operation, 
the  Association,  by  mutual  co-operation,  had  saved  its  members  approxi- 
mately $200,000.  That  was  a  good  start,  and  sent  many  men  away  to  their 
work  with  more  heart  for  the  task. 


ITS     HISTORY     AND     ACHIEVEMENTS 23 

Another  situation  arose  when  orders  were  opened  and  it  was  discovered 
that  more  than  one-half  of  the  men  commissioned  would  have  to  go  to  France 
within  a  month. 

Contrary  to  common  reports,  there  were  comparatively  few  men  of  large 
means  in  the  Training  Camps.  The  great  majority,  particularly  among  older 
men,  w^ere  men  w^ho  had  made  large  financial  sacrifices  at  great  hazards  both 
to  themselves  and  families,  and  frequently  these  same  men  who  were  classified 
as  the  most  capable  leaders  w^ere  absolutely  dependent  upon  their  salaries  and 
the  strictest  economy  to  keep  their  families  from  disaster. 

When  these  men  and  others  who  were  without  families,  but  who  had  no 
large  reserve,  read  these  orders,  they  did  not  see  how  they  could  comply  with 
the  regulations  to  report  at  the  Port  of  Embarkation  fully  equipped.  Some 
came  to  the  Commandant  s  office  to  present  their  resignations.  The  situation 
w^as  serious.  These  men  must  be  provided  w^ith  money  w^ithout  the  usual 
security  and  without  any  delay. 

The  responsibility  of  meeting  this  situation  fell  immediately  upon  the 
Association  Board  of  Directors.  The  policy  adopted  at  that  time  lies  at  the 
foundation  of  all  subsequent  success  the  organization  may  have  had.  It  was 
proposed  to  loan  $250  to  applicants  who  w^ere  ordered  to  foreign  service  and 
$75  to  those  ordered  to  home  service — repayments  to  be  made  at  the  running 
rate  of  interest  on  the  basis  of  $1  5  for  Second  Lieutenant,  $20  for  First  Lieu- 
tenant, and  $25  for  Captain,  per  month,  until  paid.  It  was  further  agreed 
that  the  question  of  a  man's  financial  condition  or  his  personal  standing  should 
not  be  brought  up,  but  that  in  every  case  possible  where  a  man  honorably 
stated  that  he  needed  the  money  for  equipment,  or  for  making  emergency 
arrangements  previous  to  such  service,  that  the  Board  would  grant  him  the 
amount. 

In  preparation  for  this  loan,  Maj.  Albert  A.  Sprague,  II,  Capt.  John  A. 
Stevenson,  Lt.  James  Hutchins,  Jr.,  and  Maj.  J.  W.  E.  Taylor  interviewed 
Chicago  banks  and  arranged  w^ith  the  Merchants  Loan  &  Trust  Company, 
Harris  Trust  &  Savings  Bank,  First  National  Bank,  Illinois  Trust  &  Savings 
Bank  and  the  Continental  &  Commercial  National  Bank  for  the  necessary 
loans  of  $1  75,000.  At  the  same  time  they  arranged  with  Mr.  J.  J.  Mitchell, 
president  of  the  Illinois  Trust  &  Savings  Bank,  and  others,  for  the  organization 
of  a  Citizens'  Committee. 

Upon  their  return  to  Fort  Sheridan  on  the  closing  day  of  the  camp, 
information  was  sent  to  the  companies  that  these  loans  w^ould  be  made. 

More  than  one  thousand  men  were  in  the  line  that  asked  for  these  loans, 
and  the  Board  of  Directors  worked  practically  all  night,  so  that  the  men  could 
get  their  checks  and  take  the  trains  to  their  homes  for  the  brief  period  before 
they  reported  for  duty. 

On  the  last  morning  of  the  camp,  the  Association  advanced  to  its  mem- 
bers over  $125,000  and  helped  many  a  man  to  go  home  with  head  up  and 
heart  stronger  and  purposes  higher  because  he  had  been  able  to  depend  upon

the  confidence  and   good  will   of   the  men  who  were  to  lead   the  New^  Army 
with  him. 

After  the  departure  of  the  Second  Camp,  the  office  of  the  Association 
w^as  moved  to  the  Conw^ay  Building,  Chicago,  w^here  applications  for  loans  in 
person  and  by  letter  increased  rapidly,  all  of  our  forces  w^orking  on  corre- 
spondence and  upon  investigation  of  loans.  During  the  week  when  our  Direc- 
tors had  their  ten-day  leave,  it  was  necessary  to  incorporate  our  organization 
and  reorganize  its  administrative  force.  This  was  done  to  the  entire  satisfac- 
tion of  the  officers  who  had  previously  served  and  the  splendid  spirit  in  which 
the  new  civilian  officers  accepted  the  responsibility  has  been  greatly  appre- 
ciated by  all. 

The  following  men  were  elected   to  serve  during  the  period  of  the  war: 

Alfred  Cowles,   President  and   Director. 

William  V.    Kelley,   Secretary  and   Director. 

Harry  E.   Weese,   Asst.   Treasurer. 

J.   Harry  Selz,   Director. 

John  W.  Scott,  Director. 

Wallace  Winter,    Director. 

George    A.    McKinlock,    Director. 

William  C.  Boyden,  Director. 

John  J.  Mitchell,  Chairman  Citizens'  Committee. 

James  C.   Hutchins,   Sr.,   Legal  Adviser. 

William  B.    Mcllvaine,    Legal   Adviser. 

The  Board  of  Directors  then  elected  Capt.  Myron  E.  Adams,  who  had 
been  commissioned  on  the  staff  of  the  Adjutant  General  of  Illinois,  at  the 
request  of  General  Ryan,  as  Executive  Manager  in  charge  of  the  administra- 
tive work  of  the  Association. 

The  Fort  Sheridan  Association  was  fortunate  in  securing  the  support  and 
active  help  of  these  understanding  business  men.  They  gave  largely  of  their 
time  and  experience  and  helped  to  establish  the  standing  of  the  organization 
immediately  in  Chicago  and  throughout  the  country. 

Alfred  Cowles,  who  was  the  president  of  the  organization  from  Decem- 
ber 13,  1917,  to  July  16,  1919,  gave  the  Association  an  immense  amount  of 
personal  attention  and  daily  service  during  the  greater  part  of  this  period.  His 
personal  interest  in  the  men,  his  determination  that  the  work  should  be  main- 
tained on  an  efficient  business  basis,  his  willingness  to  take  the  initiative  when 
any  new  emergency  arose,  were  factors  which  early  placed  the  Association 
in  a  position  where  it  could  operate  with  a  maximum  of  service  and  a  minimum 
of  strain. 

The  officers  on  leave  had  only  a  few  days  in  their  home  towns.  In  some 
cases  they  were  able  to  secure  voluntary  support  for  the  Fort  Sheridan  Asso- 
ciation from  home  sources,  but  in  the  majority  of  cases  they  were  instructed 
to  leave  this  to  civilian  representatives  of  the  Fort  Sheridan  Association  who 
would   assume   the   responsibility  after   their   departure. 

The  Board  of  Directors,  co-operating  under  Mr.  J.  J.  Mitchell,  Chairman 
of  the  Citizens'  Committee,  with  the  assistance  of  Mr.  Charles  W.  Folds,  con- 
ducted   a    financial    campaign    lasting   only   one   week    in    the   City    of    Chicago

and  raised  approximately  $125,000,  which,  with  small  amounts  from  other 
sources,  has  constituted  the  Fort  Sheridan  Association  fund  which  has  been 
used  for  loans,  for  assistance  to  families  and  for  general  w^ork  of  readjustment 
after  the  war,  but  not  a  cent  of  this  fund  has  ever  been  spent  for  current 
expenses. 

From  the  beginning  of  the  organization,  every  effort  w^as  made  by  cor- 
respondence and  visitation  to  include  in  the  membership  of  the  Fort  Sheridan 
Association  all  the  men  from  the  First  Camp  as  w^ell  as  from  the  Second. 
Pamphlets  containing  information  with  reference  to  the  Association  were  put 
in  the  hands  of  all  officers  at  Camp  Custer  and  Camp  Grant  and  the  Executive 
Manager  subsequently  visited  these  camps  in  order  to  enlist  their  membership. 
In  this  connection,  it  is  interesting  to  state  that  the  organization  has  never 
limited  its  usefulness  or  its  help  extended  to  members  of  the  Association,  but 
has,  in  all  cases,  endeavored  to  serve  the  men  of  the  First  Camp  and  their 
families  regardless  of  whether  they  were  members  of  the  Association  or  not, 
and  this  has  been  true  of  hundreds  of  men  outside  the  Fort  Sheridan  camps. 
It  has  alw^ays  been  the  policy  of  the  organization  to  extend  its  helpful  services 
wherever  they  would  accomplish  the  most  good  and  not  to  be  limited  by 
any  narrow  idea  of  service,   or  any  thought  of  its  personal  advantage. 

During  the  months  of  February  and  March,  1918,  the  Executive  Manager 
visited  the  following  camps: 

Camp  Funston,  at  Fort  Riley,  where  w^e  had  about  40  men — mostly 
captains,  in  some  very  responsible  positions,  who  afterwards  went  overseas 
with  the  Eighty-ninth  Division;  Camp  Dodge,  at  Des  Moines,  where  we  had 
130  men,  all  of  whom  went  to  France;  Camp  Zachary  Taylor,  at  Louisville, 
where  we  had  about  300  men;  Camp  Forest,  at  Chickamauga  Park,  near 
Chattanoga,  Tenn.,  where  we  had  125  men;  Camp  Gordon,  Atlanta,  where 
we  had  10  men;  Camp  Wadsworth,  Spartanburg,  South  Carolina,  the  camp 
of  the  New  York  National  Guard,  where  we  had  about  100  first  lieutenants 
in  new  regular  army  units;  Camp  Greene,  Charlotte,  North  Carolina,  where 
w^e  had  two  Chiefs  of  Staff  and  more  than  1 00  officers,  all  of  whom  went 
across  with  the  Third  and  Fifth  Divisions;  Camp  Lee,  Petersburg,  Virginia, 
where  we  had  200  officers,  and  Camp  Meade,  Annapolis,  Maryland,  where 
we  had   1  0  officers. 

The  great  majority  of  our  men  were  at  Camp  Grant  and  Camp  Custer. 
The  entire  officer  organization,  apart  from  a  score  of  Regular  Army  officers 
at  both  camps,  came  from  the  First  Fort  Sheridan  Camp.  Camp  Custer  (the 
Eighty-fifth  Division)  was  organized  by  the  Michigan-Wisconsin  Regiment  of 
the  First  Camp,  and  Camp  Grant  (the  Eighty-sixth  Division)  was  organized 
by  the  Illinois  Regiment  of  the  First  Camp.  in  most  cases  the  officers  were 
taken  over  intact  by  companies  from  these  camps  to  train  the  new  regiments, 
thus  prolonging  the  friendship  and  acquaintances  formed  at  Fort  Sheridan 
throughout  the  period  of  the  war.  In  each  of  these  camps  representatives 
of  the  Fort  Sheridan  Association  w^ere  familiar  w^ith  the  work  the  organiza- 
tion could  do  and  acted  as  an  agent  of  the  Association  there. 


ITS     HISTORY     AND     ACHIEVEMENTS 27 

How  we  helped  in  emergencies  in  these  camps  is  illustrated  by  assistance 
rendered  to  the  Eighty-sixth  Division  at  the  time  they  were  preparing  to  leave 
Camp  Grant  for  the  Port  of  Embarkation. 

Several  regiments  of  the  Division  did  not  have  its  complement  of  sec- 
ond lieutenants,  so  a  hundred  second  lieutenants  who  were  to  graduate  from 
the  Fourth  Officers'  Training  Camp  the  day  before  the  Division  departed  were 
ordered  to  secure  equipment  and  to  leave  the  following  day.  The  Brigade 
Commanders  exhausted  every  agency  at  Camp  Grant,  but  could  find  no 
means  of  assistance. 

They  telegraphed  to  Chicago  on  Friday.  On  the  same  day  the  officers 
of  the  Association  arrived  at  Camp  Grant  and  advanced  $25,000  to  the  men 
who  were  commissioned  that  day  and  were  allowed  Saturday  only  to  secure 
their  entire  equipment  before  they  entrained  on  Sunday  morning. 

Brig. -Gen.  Lincoln  C.  Andrews  wrote  to  the  Association,  as  a  result  of 
this  service,   as  follow^s: 

"1  feel  that  1  must  attempt  to  express  officially  our  deep  obligation 
to  your  Association  for  the  splendid  thing  you  did  for  our  young  graduate 
officers  in  coming  here  and  financing  them  in  getting  their  military  outfits. 
Frankly,  I  do  not  see  what  would  have  happened  without  your  assist- 
ance. Three  cases  have  come  to  my  personal  notice  in  which  these  young 
men  had  felt  constrained  to  give  up  the  commissions  they  had  so  hardily 
w^on  because  of  financial  inability  to  equip  themselves  to  go  overseas  on 
such  short  notice. 

"Not  only  have  they  been  helped  out  of  this  serious  difficulty,  but 
your  Association  has  done  this  in  such  a  w^ay  as  to  preserve  their  self- 
esteem  and  to  add  to  their  appreciation  of  the  essential  value  of  a  bit 
of  mutual   consideration   and   co-operation   in   this  vale   of   tears. 

"So  I  say  your  work  is  splendid,  and  I  hope  you  may  always  realize, 
as  I  do  now,  that  nothing  you  could  do  in  Europe  would  compare  in  value 
to  our  service  with  what  you  are  doing  here  in  making  possible  a  high 
morale  in  our  young  officers  over  there." 

During  the  same  period  the  Association  was  busy  organizing  local  civilian 
backing  for  the  men  who  had  left  their  families  to  go  into  the  service.  The 
plan  was  to  have  on  officer  organization  or  a  representation  in  each  of  the 
States  from  which  our  men  had  been  selected,  to  work  in  co-operation  with 
the  central  office  in  Chicago.  Well-organized  offices  were  in  operation  in 
Wisconsin  and  Michigan  and  representatives  co-operated  in  the  other  States. 

The  following  constituted  the  organization: 
Detroit,  Michigan — 

Murray   Paterson,   Secretary   for  Michigan. 

Miss  J.  Irene  Finn,  Detroit,  Office  Secretary. 

Miss  J.   C.    Kershaw,   Home  Visitor. 

Mrs.   F.  C.   Kidner,   Representative  on   Red  Cross  Board. 

Milwaukee,  Wisconsin — 

Fred  Vogel,  Jr.,  Chairman,  Board  of  Directors,   Milwaukee. 

Mrs.   Robert  E.   Lee,  Secretary  for  Wisconsin. 

Mrs.  George  Lines,  Representative  on  Red  Cross  Board,  Milwaukee.

Capt.  Luther  Ely  Smith,  Assisting. 

Lawrence,  Kansas —

M!ss  Ruth  Reiss,  Finance  Secretary. 

Mrs.   Chester  M.  MacChesney,   Director  Home  Department. 

Miss  Margaret  Port,  Office  Secretary. 

Miss  Mildred  Mather.  Office  Secretary. 

Mrs.  Eunice  M.  Sullivan,  Bookkeeper. 

John  Silverstein,  Office  Boy. 

To  each  of  these,  as  well  as  to  others  co-operating  with  them,  the  Asso- 
ciation is  deeply  indebted. 

In  March,  1918,  the  Home  Service  Department  was  organized.  Mrs. 
Chester  M.  MacChesney  was  made  director.  Her  policy  has  always  been  to 
consider  every  member  of  the  family  of  our  men  as  a  personal  friend.  We 
have  not  waited  to  be  called  upon,  whenever  there  was  a  report  of  any  mis- 
fortune;   we   have   immediately    acted.       A   personal    visit   has   been   made a 

letter  has  been  sent  to  our  local  auxiliary  or  to  our  nearest  State  representative. 
The  volume  of  correspondence,  the  number  of  visits,  and  the  amount  of  time 
and  energy  given  would  surprise  many  of  our  friends  not  familiar  with  this 
w^ork. 

In  addition  to  this  personal  service,  a  very  large  amount  of  money  has 
been  advanced  in  the  form  of  gifts  and  loans.  A  joint  agreement  was  made 
with  the  National  Officers  of  the  Red  Cross  whereby  there  should  be  the 
closest  co-operation  between  their  local  organizations  and  the  Association. 
Representatives  of  the  Association  were  to  be  selected  in  each  community 
and  placed  on  the  Home  Service  Committee.  Through  this  arrangement  the 
usefulness  of  the  Association  was  extended  into  hundreds  of  communities  and 
the  most  harmonious  and  helpful  service  secured. 

Such  service  is  extremely  confidential  and  one  of  the  reasons  why  the 
Association  has  had  such  rare  opportunities  for  genuine  helpfulness  has  come 
from  the  fact  that  people  have  understood  this.  They  have  written  and  have 
come  to  the  office  relying  upon  the  spirit  of  friendship  to  understand  their 
situation  and  they  have  been  made  to  feel  that  there  is  nothing  we  could  do 
that  would  begin  to  equal  the  treatment  they  had  merited  from  their  country 
for  the  services  they  had  rendered  and  the  sacrifices  many  of  them  had  made. 

In  this  connection,  it  is  almost  needless  to  say  that  the  biggest  and  best 
work  done  during  this  period   can  neither  be  described   nor   tabulated.      Our 


30 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

personal  correspondence  with  people  throughout  this  country  and  France  gave 
us  large  opportunities  for  varied  service,  including  legal,  medical,  military  and 
business  advice,  as  well  as  constantly  giving  encouragement  to  men  at  the 
front  and  women  at  home. 

The  spirit  of  our  office,  both  in  Chicago  and  elsewhere,  has  always  been 
to  deal  very  directly  and  considerately  with  every  opportunity  that  has  come 
to  us.  We  have  tried  to  keep  the  personal  relationship,  believing  that  men 
and  women  who  have  been  in  trouble  because  of  the  emergency  of  the  Great 
War  deserve  the  greatest  amount  of  personal  consideration  and  that  it  is  the 
aggregate  of  such  personal  service  that  actually  makes  up  the  test  of  the 
Association's  value. 

In  connection  with  our  Home  Service  Department  we  organized  a 
Women's  Auxiliary  in  the  City  of  Chicago  first  and  afterwards  extended 
branches  throughout  our  whole  district.  The  plan  was  to  have  occasional 
meetings  of  the  mothers  and  wives  of  the  men,  at  which  time  prominent 
speakers  would  appear.  The  women  would  have  an  opportunity  to  make 
acquaintance  with  each  other,  to  secure  information  about  their  husbands 
and  sons  in  the  service,  and  to  get  better  acquainted  with  the  officers  of  the 
Association.  No  more  inspiring  sight  was  witnessed  at  home  than  the  meet- 
ings held  by  the  Women's  Auxiliary  of  the  Fort  Sheridan  Association.  As 
many  as  a  thousand  were  together  at  one  time,  and  every  speaker  and  visitor 
was  struck  by  the  appearance  of  courage,  kindliness  and  hopefulness  sho^vn, 
and  the  mothers,  wives  and  sisters  of  our  men  took  a  great  deal  of  pride  in 
the  fact  that  they  belonged  to  this  membership.  it  will  be  one  of  the  big, 
helpful  memories  of  the  war  that  they  had  so  much  in  common  and  made  so 
many  real  friends  on  occasions  like  this.  Mrs.  MacChesney  and  the  Executive 
Manager  both  traveled  throughout  the  State,  as  well  as  into  Michigan,  Wis- 
consin, Missouri,  Colorado  and  Kansas  on  this  work,  and  saw  a  large  propor- 
tion of  these  auxiliaries  in  action. 

It  was  discovered  early  in  1918  that  a  great  injustice  was  being  done 
officers  with  families  who  were  in  the  field  service.  A  ruling  of  the  War 
Department  provided  that  the  allowances  technically  known  as  commutation 
of  quarters,  heat  and  light  would  be  withheld  wherever  the  Government  fur- 
nishes tents  or  similar  accommodations.  The  effect  of  this  ruling  was  to  put 
a  premium  on  service  at  a  station  such  as  Washington,  at  the  expense  of  the 
men  serving  in  the  field. 

The  Association,  early  in  March,  began  a  campaign  of  enlightenment 
through  the  entire  national  press.  Senator  Chamberlain  introduced  a  bill 
providing 

"that  during  the  present  emergency  every  commissioned  officer  of  the 
Army  of  the  United  States,  on  duty  in  the  field,  or  on  active  duty  without 
the  territorial  jurisdiction  of  the  United  States,  who  maintains  a  place 
of  abode  for  a  wife,  child  or  dependent  parent,  shall  be  furnished  at  the 
place  where  he  maintains  such  place  of  abode,  without  regard  to  per- 
sonal quarters  furnished  him  elsew^here,  the  number  of  rooms  prescribed 
by  the  Act  of  March  2,  1907.  to  be  occupied  by,  and  only  so  long  as 
occupied    by,    said    wife,    chiJd    or   dependent    parent;    and    in   case    such 


ITS     HISTORY     AND     ACHIEVEMENTS  31 

quarters  are  not  available,  every  such  commissioneci  officer  shall  be  paid 
commutation  thereof  and  communtation  of  heat  and  light,  at  the  rate 
authorized  by  law  in  cases  vs^here  public  quarters  are  not  available;  but 
nothing  in  the  Act  shall  be  so  construed  as  to  reduce  the  allowances  now 
authorized  by  law  for  any  person  in  the  Army.  ' 

We  sent  a  special  letter  to  all  of  the  leading  newspapers  throughout  the 
country,  giving  them  the  actual  facts,  the  financial  status  of  the  officers  with 
families,  their  responsibility,  as  well  as  an  appeal  for  fair  treatment.  This 
letter  was  sent  to  more  than  500  newspapers  and  immediately  began  to  bring 
replies  throughout  every  section.  The  following  extract  from  the  "Buffalo 
Express"  is  a  fair  sample  of  the  type  of  response  received: 

"This  being  an  officer  in  the  United  States  Army  is  not  all  cakes 
and  ale.  Quite  aside  from  the  responsibilities  which  fall  upon  those  in 
command,  there  are  burdens  which  many  of  the  young  men  who  have 
gone  into  the  service  through  the  training  camps  are  finding  pretty 
heavy.  They  have  discovered  that  it  costs  a  good  deal  to  be  an  officer, 
and  a  good  many  of  the  young  men  w^ho  are  now  lieutenants  and  cap- 
tains in  the  National  Army  went  into  the  game  without  much  thought 
as  to  w^hat  this  might  mean.  Many  of  them  are  married  and  therefore 
have  dependents  and  doubtless  most  of  them  have  no  appreciable  re- 
sources outside  of  their  pay. 

"A  second  lieutenant  in  the  Army  receives  $141  a  month,  first 
lieutenant  $166  and  captain  $200,  v/ith  10  per  cent  increase  for  foreign 
service.  An  officer,  unlike  a  private,  must  maintain  and  equip  himself. 
It  has  been  figured  that  altogether  these  young  officers  are  put  to  an 
expense  of  $450  for  complete  equipment  for  foreign  service;  or,  figuring 
equipment  and  replacement,  about  $50  a  month  for  the  first  year.  Mess 
costs  are  considerable  and  in  many  of  the  camps  officers  have  been  com- 
pelled to  provide  their  own  quarters.  They  should  take  the  Government 
insurance  and  they  are  supposed  to  buy  a  few  Liberty  Bonds.  And 
about  that  time  they  begin  to  wonder  where  they  are  at,  especially  if 
married. 

"These  are  among  the  reasons  urged  in  support  of  legislation  now 
before  Congress  looking  for  mitigation  of  existing  conditions.  Some 
commutation  for  family  quarters  and  a  partial  equipment  for  foreign 
service  are  asked.  That  surely  is  not  an  unreasonable  demand.  Espe- 
cially is  it  a  just  demand  that  the  Government  should  furnish  officers  the 
service  equipment  required  by  regulations. 

"An  agitation  which  is  being  organized  in  support  of  measures  to 
this  end  is  deserving  of  universal  and  hearty  support.  The  necessary 
law^s  should  be  enacted  by  Congress  at  once  and  made  retroactive  to  the 
beginning  of  the  w^ar." 

Shortly  afterwards,  special  hearing  was  given  the  bill  in  the  Senate  and, 
partly  as  a  result  of  the  publicity  w^e  were  able  to  obtain  for  it,  but  largely 
because  of  its  obvious  justice,  it  was  sent  to  the  House.  We  then  sent  a  letter 
to  every  State  Council  of  Defense  in  the  country,  as  well  as  to  the  newspapers 
that  had  been  helpful,  and  on  Wednesday,  April  1 0th,  the  bill  was  brought 
before  the  House  for  final  hearing  cind,  in  spite  of  some  opposition,  it  was 
passed  by  a  fair  majority.  In  view  of  the  later  unwillingness  of  Congress  to 
provide  any   relief   on   the   matter   of   cost    of   equipment,    passage   of   this  bill 


32 THE     FORT     SHERIDAxN     ASSOCIATION' 

meant  a  great  deal  to  the  families  of  the  men  throughout  the  country  who  were 
leading  the  Army. 

From  the  beginning  of  the  organization,  the  granting  of  loans  and  the 
securing  of  repayments  constituted  one  of  our  largest  activities.  In  the  first 
tw^o  days  over  $125,000  w^as  loaned  the  men.  The  Association  secured  an 
allotment  of  pay,  but  discovered  later  that  there  w^as  a  regulation  of  the 
Quartermaster  s  Department  which  made  it  impossible  to  secure  returns  in 
that  w^ay.  Every  man  w^ho  had  made  a  loan  w^as  notified  of  this  fact  and 
many  repaid   their  loans  monthly  by  check  direct. 

In  March  the  Executive  Manager,  on  a  visit  to  Washington,  conferred 
with  the  Director  of  Finance  in  the  Depot  Quartermaster's  Department,  and  a 
change  in  the  regulation  was  made,  providing  that  officers  were  to  be  allowed 
to  make  allotments  to  others  besides  their  families.  After  this,  the  allotments 
came  in  monthly,  as  arranged  at  the  close  of  camp,  and  the  matter  of  collec- 
tions from  that  time  on  was  very  much  simplified,  although  a  great  deal  of 
confusion  resulted  because  the  allotments  were  not  paid  for  the  first  few 
months  after  the  men  left  camp. 

Up  to  date,  we  have  loaned  and  given  to  men  in  service  and  to  their 
families  $350,000.  This  has  helped  in  a  great  many  ways  and  has  been 
deeply  appreciated  by  the  men.  Their  repayments  were  conscientious  and 
showed  the  fine  spirit  in  which  they  accepted  the  help  offered. 


AFTER   THE    ARMISTICE 

At  the  time  of  the  armistice  in  November,  1918,  we  were  pressing  the 
organization  of  smaller  local  organizations  and  extending  the  work  of  the 
Association  on  the  broadest  basis.  The  armistice  came  as  a  great  relief  to 
the  home  folks  and  with  it  a  great  pride  in  the  knowledge  that  the  participa- 
tion of  our  country  in  the  war  had  helped  to  produce  the  final  victory. 

Immediately  the  Association  changed  its  plans  to  meet  the  requirements 
of  men  returning  to  civil  life.  Those  who  had  been  absent  from  their  usual 
occupations  for  two  or  three  years  found  conditions  changed  upon  their  return. 
The  readjustment  back  to  a  self-supporting  position  in  civil  life  was  even  more 
difficult  than  the  entrance  into  the  Army. 

The  Board  of  Directors,  in  January,  1919,  voted  that  all  the  activities 
of  the  Association  should  be  directed  toward  replacing  the  returning  men  in 
suitable  positions  and  in  assisting  the  men  and  their  families  to  get  a  fair  start 
in  civil  life — that  all  other  plans  and  purposes  should  be  set  aside  in  order 
that  this  work  might  be  well  done. 

In  keeping  with  this  policy,  the  Executive  Manager  organized,  first,  a 
group  of  employment  advisers,  representing  every  prominent  profession, 
trade  and  industry  in  Chicago.  He  then  attempted,  although  without  great 
success,  to  organize  similar  committees  throughout  the  six  States  of  this  dis- 
trict.     In  December,   as  chairman  of  the  Organizing  Committee  of  the  newly 


34 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

formed  Bureau  of  Soldiers  and  Sailors,  he  outlined  the  plan  of  organization 
which  was  subsequently  adopted — namely,  a  centralized  office,  sufficiently 
large  to  take  care  of  the  problem  of  re-employing  all  men  from  the  service; 
of  employing  service  men  to  do  this  w^ork  on  a  business-like  basis;  also  pre- 
senting the  plan  which  eventually  was  adopted,  by  which  the  co-operating 
organizations  should  agree  to  support  this  Bureau  of  Soldiers  and  Sailors  out 
of  their  own  funds  as  a  part  of  their  readjustment  work  rather  than  to  trust 
to  Government  support,  which  eventually  would  have  failed,  or  to  private 
initiative,   which  would   never  have  been   adequate. 

From  December  to  March  the  Employment  Bureau  was  maintained  in 
connection  with  the  United  States  Employment  service  at  Dearborn  and 
Washington  streets.  But  in  March,  through  the  efforts  of  Maj.-Gen.  Leonard 
Wood,  who  had  just  become  commander  of  the  Central  Department,  the 
Bureau  of  Soldiers,  Sailors  and  Marines  was  much  strengthened.  Larger 
financial  support  was  secured  from  co-operating  agencies  and  the  work  was 
removed  to    120  West  Adams  street. 

For  a  year  this  Bureau  was  the  center  of  work  for  the  returning  soldiers, 
sailors  and  marines.  More  than  100,000  returning  men  registered  there  for 
some  kind  of  service,  and  more  than  40,000  positions  were  secured  for  men 
in  civil  life. 

The  Fort  Sheridan  Association  removed  to  the  Bureau  as  soon  as  it 
opened  and  worked  with  it  until  it  closed.  Lieut.  C.  A.  Rogers,  Jr.,  was 
employed  to  take  charge  of  the  employment  of  returning  officers  and  of 
specialized  professions  or  businesses  where  special  efforts  were  necessary. 
This  position  gave  unusual  opportunities  for  service.  Thousands  of  men  and 
women  were  helped  directly  in  our  office,  while  by  correspondence  with  mem- 
bers and  others  at  a  distance  we  tried  to  assist  returning  men  in  every  avail- 
able way. 

From  January  1st  to  March  1,  1920,  the  Association,  at  the  request  of 
General  Wood,  and  with  the  approval  of  the  Citizens'  Committee  which  se- 
cured the  special  funds,  agreed  to  assume  all  running  expenses  of  the  Bureau 
of  Soldiers,  Sailors  and  Marines  until  it  closed  its  year's  work.  This  completed 
a  record  of  practical  and  persistent  service  which  compares  favorably  in 
Chicago  with  the  largest  national  agencies. 

Members  outside  of  Illinois  can  testify  that  the  organization  has  also 
endeavored  to  reach  out  as  far  as  possible.  During  the  past  year  $50,000 
has  been  advanced  to  men  and  their  families  in  all  sections  of  the  country 
and,  as  far  as  we  have  been  able,  w^e  have  co-operated  w^ith  local  agencies  to 
accomplish   everything  possible. 

On  July  17,  1919,  the  Civilian  Board,  having  served  faithfully  during  the 
period  of  the  war,  resigned  in  order  that  the  machinery  of  the  Association 
might  be  returned  to  the  men  who  originally  organized  it. 

As  a  recognition  of  the  broad  lines  adopted  and  the  generous  purposes 
for  the  future  the  Board  of  Directors  elected  in  their  places  for  the  remainder 
of  the  term  of  three  years,   the  following  officers:      General  James  A.   Ryan, 


ITS     HISTORY     AND     ACHIEVEMENTS 35 

president;  Maj.  Albert  A.  Sprague,  11,  chairman  Board  of  Directors;  Maj. 
Philip  Fox,  first  vice  president;  Maj.  J.  W.  E.  Taylor,  second  vice-president; 
Col.  Abel  Davis,  third  vice-president;  Maj.  John  S.  Miller,  Jr.,  secretary; 
Lt.  John  S.  Broeksmit,  treasurer;  Harry  E.  Weese,  assistant  treasurer.  Direc- 
tors: Col.  Abel  Davis,  Capt.  Marshall  Field,  III,  Maj.  Thomas  R.  Gowenlock, 
Maj.  John  S.  Miller,  Jr.,  Gen.  James  A.  Ryan,  Maj.  Albert  A.  Sprague,  II, 
Capt.  John  A.  Stevenson. 

The  Association  has  consistently  backed  every  effort  to  secure  for  return- 
ing ex-service  men  every  help  the  Government  could  give  them,  and  has 
championed  their  cause  on  every  occasion.  Complaints  have  been  investi- 
gated. Information  that  wounded  men  were  to  be  discharged  from  army 
hospitals  before  they  were  fit  for  civil  life  brought  speedy  action  at  Wash- 
ington from  the  Chairman  of  our  Board  of  Directors,  Maj.  A.  A.  Sprague,  and 
resulted  in  the  order  being  revoked.  Special  cases  outside  the  membership 
have  been  taken  care  of  in  homes  and  hospitals.  In  addition,  the  Association 
has  given  $10,000  to  the  American  Legion  to  install  a  service  department, 
believing  that  through  such  an  organization  large  results  would  be  secured. 

Throughout  its  whole  career  the  Association  has  sought  to  do  the  greatest 
possible  good  to  the  largest  number,  without  seeking  credit  or  considering  its 
ow^n  personal  advantages. 

After  the  return  of  the  men,  several  reunions  have  been  held.  Men 
came  from  long  distances  to  be  present.  A  larger  reunion  was  held  in  Chi- 
cago, to  which  all  of  the  members  were  invited.  More  than  seven  hundred 
attended.  Every  company  in  the  First  and  Second  Camps  was  represented. 
There  w^as  a  spirit  of  a  good  fellowship  w^hich  carried  every  man  back  to 
Fort  Sheridan  in  1917.  Such  reunions  will  be  planned  in  the  future  in  other 
cities  and  at  Fort  Sheridan. 

Records  of  men  killed  or  wounded  have  been  carefully  kept.  Full 
information  is  on  file  in  our  office  and  is  always  available  to  members. 

The  memorial  section  of  this  volume  contains  a  brief  resume  of  each. 
No  attempt  has  been  made  to  go  into  detail.  The  fuller  records  carry  a 
w^ealth  of  honorable  service  which  will  always  be  an  inspiration  to  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Association. 

Two  hundred  and  seventy  of  our  members  w^ere  killed  in  the  service. 
Many  of  them  left  dependent  families,  to  which  we  are  obligated  by  every 
law  of  life.  Sometimes  they  have  needed  the  simple  testimony  of  our  con- 
tinued interest  and  appreciation  to  help  them  over  the  lonely  hours  and  the 
heavier  responsibility. 

At  Christmas  time  in  December,  1919,  the  Association  sent  to  the 
seventy  children,  whose  fathers  were  our  fellow  officers  and  friends,  a  beau- 
tiful solid  silver  table  ring  with  this  inscription: 

"To 

From  his  Father's  Brother  Officers 
who  served  with  him  at  Fort  Sheridan  in    191  7." 


36 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

One  of  the  replies  will  testify  to  how  much  even  such  a  little  token  was 
appreciated : 

"Words  so  feebly  express  my  feelings  towards  the  men  of  the  Asso- 
ciation that  it  is  almost  useless  to  try  to  put  them  on  paper.  The  silver 
napkin  rings  w^hich  you  sent  to  my  babies  w^ere  of  themselves  beautiful, 
but  the  sentiment  w^hich  prompted  the  gift  is  to  me  of  priceless  value — 
to  be  treasured  in  my  heart  to  life  s  end  and  left  as  a  w^onderful  heritage 
for  my  children.  ¥  v  v  J  would  like  to  personally  thank  every 
man  of  the  Association,  to  clasp  his  hand  and  say,  God  bless  and 
prosper  you.'  1  do  bless  each  one  from  the  depth  of  my  heart  and  some 
day,  when  my  babies  are  able  to  understand,  they  will  too.  Will  you, 
personally,  please  accept  my  thanks  and  prayers  for  all  good  things  for 
you  and  whenever  possible  pass  them  on  to  the  men  of  the  Association." 

We  w^ant  to  close  this  story  of  the  Fort  Sheridan  Association  w^ith  the 
statement  that  all  that  is  w^ritten  here  seems  insignificant  and  paltry  as  com- 
pared w^ith  the  living  and  deathless  accomplishment  of  the  thousands  of  men 
who,  silently  and  unheralded,  gave  their  best  to  their  country.  Men  w^ho  even 
now  are  held  by  their  wounds  in  distant  hospitals — men  who  are  handicapped 
in  their  future  struggle  for  existence — w^ives  and  little  children,  mothers  and 
fathers  who  paid  the  immeasurable  price. 

We  cannot  do  it  justice,  but  there  came  to  our  office  from  a  home  where 
two  sons  (Lieuts.  Bernard  and  Leon  D.  Van't  Hof)  never  returned,  these 
words  with  w^hich  we  close,  believing  that  the  truly  great  record  w^as  w^ritten  in 
such  lives  as  these: 

We  had  two   sons; 

No   braver  lads  than   they. 

Those  of  their  friends  who   knew^  them  best   can  testify. 

In  manhness  their   equal   hard   to   find. 

In  tenderness  and   love   none   might   compare. 

Their  kiss  at   greeting  like  unto   the  kiss  of  a   sweet   girl. 

Their   parting   kiss   a   benediction   rare. 

Love   and  devotion   marked   their   every   step. 

And  love   grew^  on  apace  beneath   our   roof. 

Through   darkening   days  of  trouble   and   despair. 

Their  true  worth  shone  with  a  devotion   rare. 

And   wheresoever   censure    reared   her    head 

Their   faithfulness    remained   without    compare. 

Came    country's    call. 

Arise!   ye   men.      Arise! 

Give  me  your  manhood's  strength. 

Go   forth   to   battle   for   the   cause 

The   cause  of  mankind's  weal 

Democracy    triumphant. 

They    heard. 

They   faltered   not. 

They  went. 

They    spake   in   solemn   tone   and   low. 

The   call   has   come   and  we   must   go. 

Our   country   calls,    and  we, 

Shall  we  be  slow  to  answer? 

No. 

Does  not  God  choose  his  instruments  to  carry  out   His  plans 

And  place  within   their  hearts  desire   to   serve? 

We    go. 

We   shall    return   if  God   so  wills. 

But  if  it  be  His  will  that  we  should  fall 

We   pray   for   grace  that  ^ve   may   give  Him   all. 

And   so    they   went. 

Our   hearts  beat  high  as  word   came  of  their   deeds. 


ITS     HISTORY     AND     ACHIEVEMENTS  37 


Our  tears  flowed  as  we   heard  of  w^ounds  received. 

And   when   news   came   of   decorations    granted 

For    valiant    deeds    performed, 

Supplanted  v^ere  our  tears  and  fears  by  pride  and  joy 

And   grateful  song  we   raised 

That  God   had   given  us  tw#  sons,   two   men, 

Who  in  the  hour  of  trial  failed  not,   nor  faltered. 

But  with  head   erect,   and   flashing  eye  and   lion   heart 

Met   foe   and   vanquished   him. 

Then   came  the   sad,    sad   news, 

"Regret   to   state  your  son,    leading 

His  men  to  victory,   was  brought   in  bleeding  from  fatal  wounds 

And  has   'gone  west,' 

Smiling,    glad  to  have  done  his  best." 

Ah,   God,    now   give   us   grace   to   say. 

Thy  will  be  done.      Thou   gave  and  Thou   hast   taken. 

Be  brave  dear   hearts,   yet  is  thy   cup   not   filled. 

God  in   His  providence   has  willed, 

That   you   should  offer   all. 

And  came  the  other  message. 

Blotting  like   a   pall    remaining   light, 

And    hope    took    flight,    and 

We    had    given   all. 

Ah,  God,  Thou  art  a  Father 

And  Thou   didst   give  Thy  Son  that  we  might   live. 

But   Thou   are   God, 

And  we  are  only   human. 

And  we   are   sad  and   lonesome   for   our  lads, 

We   miss  their   loving  kiss. 

Their    hearty    greeting. 

Their   cheering  smile. 

And  all  the  while   the   home-fire  bright   we're   keeping 

For  their  dear  sakes. 

Perhaps,   who   knows,   some   day  they  will   return, 

At  night  when  all  is  silent. 

When   stars   are   bright, 

And   they  will   come 

And  they  will  press  our  lips 

With   the  accustomed,    ne'er  to  be   forgotten   goodnight   kiss. 

Ah,  God,— 


Grand   Rapids,    December   31,    1918.

The  Birth 

of  the  Officers' 

Training  Camp 


Early  Steps  in  Preparedness 


By 

COLONEL  HALSTLD  DOREY 

4th   Infantry,    U.   S.    A. 


SOME  one  has  said  that  the  great  reunion  of  the  Blue  and  the  Gray  on 
the  battlefield  of  Gettysburg  in  the  Summer  of  1913  was  a  most  fitting 
close  to  the  great  drama  of  the  Civil  War.  While  the  camp  may  have 
been  built  to  serve  as  the  stage  for  the  last  scene  of  the  great  Civil  War,  it 
was  later  used  for  the  opening  act  of  another  play,  w^hich  has  already  had  a 
far-reaching  effect  upon  our  country,  as  it  was  really  the  prologue  of  our 
preparation  for  the  great  World  War. 

As  the  camp  began  to  take  form,  General  Wood,  who  was  then  Chief 
of  Staff  in  the  Army,  was  inspired  with  the  thought  that,  although  it  was  being 
constructed  for  what  would  probably  be  the  last  great  reunion  of  the  men 
who  had  fought  in  the  Civil  War,  it  could  well  be  used,  when  they  were 
through  with  it,  for  the  beginning  of  the  training  of  men  w^ho  w^ere  to  fight  in 
our  future  wars,  and  for  whom  so  little  had  been  done  up  to  that  time.  He 
felt  that  in  the  next  war,  as  in  all  our  previous  w^ars,  the  greater  part  of  the 
fighting  would  be  done  by  those  who  were  just  finishing  or  had  just  finished 
their  preparation  for  their  life's  fight  in  civil  life.  He  felt  that  just  as  their 
parents  had  made  sacrifices  to  prepare  them  for  their  future  civil  life,  their 
country  should  prepare  them  for  the  future  military  life  which  w^as  almost 
bound  to  be  thrust  upon  them. 

He  therefore  decided  that  the  commencement  should  be  made  with 
college  men,  as  they  could  best  spare  the  time  during  their  summer  vacations. 
He  communicated  with  the  various  colleges  and  universities  in  the  country 
and  finally  succeeded  in  interesting  enough  to  justify  the  holding  of  the  first 
Students'  Training  Camp.  As  there  were  no  Government  funds  available  for 
the  purpose,  the  young  men  attending  necessarily  had  to  pay  their  ow^n 
expenses  and,  in  order  to  reduce  the  expenses  as  much  as  possible  for  the 
young  men  living  in  the  far  western  part  of  the  country,  it  was  decided  to 
hold  a  second  camp  at  Monterey,  California.  As  in  all  new  movements  of 
this  kind,  it  was  difficult  to  get  publicity  and  only  some  220  men  attended 
these  two  camps  in  1913,  but,  with  the  exception  of  the  small  attendance,  the 
camps  were  in  every  way  a  success,  and  the  men  who  attended  them,  upon 
returning  to  their  colleges,  spread  the  news  among  their  fellow  students.  The 
heads  of  nearly  all  the  larger  universities  and  colleges  in  the  country  also 
became  interested — notably  Doctor  Brinker,  of  Lehigh,  who  visited  the 
Gettysburg  camp  several  times,  and  was  indefatigable  in  spreading  the  news 
of  the  good  work  accomplished  there.  The  men  who  attended  these  first  two 
camps  organized  themselves  into  "The  National  Reserve  Corps,"  which  was 
supported  by  the  "College  Presidents'  Advisory  Committee,"  the  member- 
ship of  which  included  the  presidents  of  all  but  one  or  two  of  the  prominent 
colleges  and  universities  of  the  country.  Among  the  members  of  this  com- 
mittee were  President  Lowell  of  Harvard,  Hadley  of  Yale,  and  James  of  the 
University  of  Illinois. 


THE     BIRTH     OF     THE     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP  175 


In  1914,  camps  were  held  at  Fort  Ethan  Allen,  Vermont;  Ludington, 
Michigan;  Asheville,  North  Carolina,  and  Monterey,  California,  with  an  at- 
tendance of  over  700.  In  1915,  camps  were  held  at  Plattsburg,  New  York, 
and  Ludington,  Michigan,  and  the  attendance  rose  to  several  thousand.  All 
these  camps  w^ere  called  Students'  Camps,  and  the  age  limit  for  admission 
was  between    19   and   26  years. 

As  the  preparations  for  the  1915  camps  progressed,  it  was  noted  that 
men  beyond  the  maximum  age  limit  were  applying  for  permission  to  attend. 
This  w^as  partly  due,  of  course,  to  the  fact  that  a  great  w^ar  had  broken  out 
in  Europe.  The  question  was  finally  taken  up  with  General  Wood,  who  was 
then  in  command  of  the  Eastern  Department,  and  he  decided  if  a  hundred 
of  these  older  men  indicated  their  desire  to  attend  a  training  camp,  he  would 
authorize  the  holding  of  a  camp  for  their  benefit  at  Plattsburg,  after  the 
students  had  finished  their  course.  At  first  the  men  interested  in  the  promo- 
tion of  this  camp  received  little  encouragement.  Up  to  about  the  middle  of 
March,  only  some  forty-six  men  had  indicated  a  desire  to  attend.  However, 
w^hen  the  camp  opened  in  July,  the  list  had  grown  to  some  1,250.  On  account 
of  the  prominent  men  w^ho  were  enrolled  in  this  camp,  the  attention  of  the 
whole  country  w^as  called  to  it,  and  soon  requests  began  to  pour  in  from  other 
localities  throughout  the  country,  asking  for  assistance  in  establishing  similar 
camps.  Few  of  the  applicants  appreciated  the  length  of  time  necessary  to 
make  preparations  for  such  a  camp,  and  some,  no  doubt,  felt  that  they  did 
not  receive  the  encouragement  they  were  entitled  to.  The  only  additional 
camp  that  Summer  was  at  Fort  Sheridan,  Illinois.  The  second  business  men's 
camp  w^as  held  at  Plattsburg,  from  the  middle  of  August  to  the  middle  of 
September,  with  an  attendance  of  some  750.  The  men  who  attended  these 
so-called  business  men's  camps  formed  an  organization,  which  was  combined 
with  the  society  already  organized  by  the  students,  under  the  name  of  "The 
Military  Training  Camps  Association,"  and  this  new  organization  immediately 
started  a  vigorous  campaign  for  recruits  for  the  training  camps,  to  be  held  in 
the  Summer  of  1916.  They  also  took  up  with  Congress  the  question  of  a 
fuller  recognition  by  the  Government  of  these  camps  and  the  payment  of 
expenses  of  the  men  attending  them.  In  addition,  they  urged  the  establish- 
ment of  an  Officers'  Reserve  Corps.  The  success  of  their  w^ork  is  to  be  found 
in  provisions  for  these  two  purposes  in  the  National  Defense  Act,  passed  by 
Congress  in  the  Spring  of  1916.  They  also  arranged  for  Winter  correspond- 
ence courses,  for  those  who  desired  to  do  Winter  military  work  at  home. 
Although  the  enthusiasm  of  the  men  taking  this  correspondence  course  was 
remarkable,  the  Army  officers  preparing  the  course  felt  that  it  was  not  all 
what  it  should  have  been,  their  excuse  being  that  none  of  them  could  be 
detailed  on  that  exclusive  duty,  and  that  they  had  to  prepare  the  lessons  and 
criticise  the  papers  in  moments  stolen  from  their  other  duties. 

In  1916  camps  were  held  at  Plattsburg,  Fort  Sheridan,  and  at  the  Pre- 
sidio of  San  Francisco,  the  students  being  organized  into  separate  units  from 
the  older  men.      Four  of  these  camps  were  held  at  Plattsburg.  the  largest  one 


176 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

being  in  July,  with  an  attendance  of  about  7,000.  Although  over  23,000 
men  enrolled,  only  some  1  7,000  actually  attended,  the  shortage  being  due 
to  the  call  of  troops  of  the  Regular  Army  and  the  National  Guard  to  the 
Border,  and  the  threatened  railroad  strike.  Because  of  the  latter,  many  busi- 
ness men  were  afraid  to  get  far  away  from  their  business.  Another  handicap 
due  to  the  call  of  troops  to  the  Border  was  the  resulting  shortage  of  regular 
officers  who  were  available  to  act  as  instructors.  The  new  membership  to 
the  training  camps  association,  resulting  from  the  1916  camps,  gave  an  in- 
creased impetus  to  the  recruiting  and  other  activities  of  the  association,  and 
when  we  entered  the  war  in  1917  the  stage  was  set  for  a  very  much  larger 
attendance  in  the  1917  camps  than  had  been  had  in  all  the  previous  camps 
put  together. 

As  soon  as  it  was  ascertained  that  we  were  to  enter  the  war,  the  members 
of  the  training  camps  association  began  to  plan  how  they,  as  an  organization, 
could  best  help  the  country,  and  it  w^as  due  to  their  efforts  that  the  first  series 
of  Officers'  Training  Camps  w^ere  inaugurated  at  such  an  early  date,  and  with 
such  a  large  attendance.

THE  United  States  of  America  need  fear  no  war.  If  the  sacred  soil  of 
that  Nation  is  threatened  with  invasion,  or  her  glorious  name  and  honor 
defamed,  a  million  men  will  spring  to  arms  overnight  to  overthrow  the 
most  powerful  and  designing  of  invaders.  Why  be  afraid?  Have  the  armies 
of  America  ever  been  defeated  by  a  foreign  foe? 

Shortly  after  the  Civil  War  the  germ  of  such  reasoning  took  root  and,  as 
the  country  prospered,  the  more  deeply  did  it  become  imbedded.  Nor  did 
the  Spanish-American  War  halt  this  train  of  thought.  It  seemed  to  convince 
a  multitude  that  the  United  States  could  subdue  a  great  European  aggressor 
w^ith  a  negligible  amount  of  sacrifice  and  expense. 

Then  came  August  14,  1914.  The  law^s  of  humanity  violated,  the  honor 
of  treaties  destroyed,  and  Europe  plunged  in  blood.     America  stood  aghast. 

The  months  dragged  on.  The  war  progressed.  Its  scope  increased. 
Country  after  country  became  involved.  The  fact  that,  by  the  end  of  the 
year  1916,  the  United  States  had  not  entered  the  conflict  w^as  in  itself  lament- 
able in  the  estimation  of  honor-loving  Americans,  although  not  so  inexcusably 
tragic  as  the  refusal  as  a  nation  to  take  steps  on  a  large  scale  for  preparation 
in  order  to  be  ready  when  the  fatal  day  arrived. 

The  War  Department  chafed  under  the  situation.  They  knew  only  too 
w^ell  the  difficulties  ahead  if  war  should  come.  They  had  extensive  plans,  but 
lacked  the  authority  to  carry  them  out.  True,  thanks  to  the  untiring  efforts 
of  General  Leonard  Wood,  training  camps  for  college  students  were  inaugu- 
rated during  the  summer  of  1913.  These  camps  were  so  successful  that  similar 
instruction  w^as  given  each  succeeding  summer  through  the  year  1916,  not 
only  for  college  men,  but  for  business  men  as  w^ell.  These  camps  w^ere 
responsible  for  the  enthusiasm  of  the  men  who  established  military  instruc- 
tion in  various  universities,  such  as  the  formation  of  a  Battalion  of  Field 
Artillery  at  Yale,  and  an  Infantry  Regiment  at  Harvard.  Desire  for  prepared- 
ness alike  spurred  on  the  National  Guard,  an  especial  example  of  which  was 
the  development  of  the  First  Illinois  Field  Artillery  and  the  First  Cavalry  of 
New  York. 

In  1916  came  the  Mexican  trouble  w^hich  sidetracked  temporarily  interest 
in  the  European  struggle  but  proved  to  be  of  benefit  in  exposing  our  deplor- 
able state  of  unpreparedness  and  in  affording  field  training  to  the  Regular 
Army,  National  Guard  and  some  college  organizations  belonging  to  the 
National  Guard. 

The  Mexican  crisis  passed  in  the  Fall  of  1916.  Europe  again  became 
the  point  of  interest.  Germany,  realizing  our  unpreparedness  and  imagining 
that  we  would  never  awake,  became  bolder,  extending  her  submarine  warfare 
and  paying  scant  attention  to  numerous  presidential  notes.  The  sinking  of 
the  "Lusitania"  on  May  7,  1915,  was  the  turning  point.  How^  could  the 
United  States  avoid  war  with  honor  after  that?      The  answer  to  the  tragedy 


THE     FIRST     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP ISl 

was  another  "note",  but  righteous  indignation  throughout  the  country  from 
this  time  on  began  to  rapidly  crystallize.  On  February  3,  1917,  diplomatic 
relations  with  Germany  were  severed.  And,  on  April  the  6th,  1917 — April 
— the  month  of  the  Battle  of  Lexington  w^hich  precipitated  the  Revolution, 
the  month  of  Sumpter  which  pitted  North  against  South, — the  United  States 
declared  war  against  Germany. 

Did  we  mobilize  a  million  men  overnight  and  rush  them  across  the  water 
the  following  day  to  stop  the  gruesome  carnage?  Thanks  to  the  British  Navy, 
the  foe,  then  at  the  height  of  his  pow^er  on  land,  w^as  prevented  from  invading 
our  shore  at  a  time  w^hen  w^e  should  have  been  almost  powerless  to  resist.  The 
United  States — a  Samson  shorn  of  his  locks — had  contracted  for  a  battle  with 
a  powerful  giant,  fit,  and  shall  we  say  victorious?      What  was  to  be  done? 

A  tremendous  army  was  needed.  The  assembling  of  a  large  number  of 
men  was  not  in  itself  the  most  difficult  task;  but  once  assembled,  where  was  the 
material  with  which  they  were  to  train  and  where  would  be  the  officers  to 
train  them?  The  German  nation  appreciated  this  problem  more  than  we  our- 
selves. General  Hindenburg  stated  when  we  entered  the  war  that  it  was 
impossible  for  America  to  organize  an  army  because  of  the  lack  of  officers 
capable  of  operating  in  a  battle  area.  Germany  at  the  time  treated  our  entry 
into  the  conflict  as  trivial,  because  she  hoped  to  victoriously  terminate  the  war 
before  we  could  produce  an  effective  military  machine. 

But  the  lack  of  preparation  in  this  country  w^as  due  to  ignorance — not  to 
lack  of  patriotism.  Once  in  the  war  the  Nation  was  in  it  heart  and  soul.  We 
had  failed  to  prepare  for  the  test,  but  it  was  still  not  too  late.  Teuton  logic 
w^as  scheduled  for  one  of  its  premier  jolts. 

While  Congress  w^as  striving  to  thrash  out  the  vexing  question  of  how  to 
raise  an  army,  the  War  Department  was  authorized  to  launch  at  once  its  plan 
for  laying  the  foundation  for  that  army.  Little  did  it  matter  at  that  time  to  the 
army  officials  as  to  whether  recruits  w^ere  to  be  secured  by  voluntary  enlist- 
ment or  draft.  They  knew  that  one  million  men  were  needed  at  the  earliest 
possible  moment  and  that  before  those  men  were  called,  there  must  be  officers 
to  train  and  lead  them. 

The  United  States,  for  military  purposes,  was  divided  into  sixteen  sec- 
tions, each  section  containing  approximately  the  same  population,  although 
obviously  not  an  equal  number  of  square  miles.  From  each  of  these  sections, 
the  War  Department  was  to  pick  2,500  men — those  apparently  most  prom- 
ising in  mind  and  body  of  all  applicants  w^ho  volunteered — to  take  a  course 
of  training  designed  to  prepare  them  to  become  officers.  For  these  sixteen 
sections  there  were  to  be  established,  in  appropriate  sections  of  the  country, 
fourteen  training  camps.  Men  from  the  first  and  second  sections  were  to  train 
at  the  same  camp — Plattsburg.  Men  from  the  tenth  and  eleventh  sections 
were  also  to  train  at  a  single  camp — Fort  Sheridan.  This  accounts  for  there 
being  two  less  camps  than  sections. 

The  declaration  of  war  with  Germany  did  not  bring  a  simultaneous  an- 
nouncement of  this  plan,  although  the  War  Department  must  have  been  con- 


THE     FIRST     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 183 

sidering  it  for  many  months,  probably  since  the  success  of  the  first  student 
training  camps  in  1913.  Consequently,  although  thousands  made  up  their 
minds  to  volunteer  as  soon  as  they  had  read  the  news  on  April  6th,  a  great 
majority  hesitated  to  act  at  once,  wishing  to  place  what  military  experience 
they  had,  or  their  advanced  or  technical  training,  in  that  service  which  w^ould 
be  of  greatest  advantage  to  the  country.  Rumor  (that  word  to  be  heard  so 
much  of  later)  had  it  that  the  War  Department  w^as  very  likely  to  adopt  some 
such  plan,  and  this  resulted  in  hundreds  of  men  scurrying  about  in  a  strenuous 
effort  to  verify  the  rumor.  Men  closed  their  desks  and  boarded  trains  for 
college  towns,  hoping  that  the  army  officers  at  their  university  might  have 
some  special  information  unobtainable  at  home.  Members  of  National  Guard 
organizations  kept  in  constant  touch  with  headquarters.  Former  training  camp 
men  phoned  and  wrote.     Seniors  laid  down  their  books. 

The  plan  was  at  last  announced  early  in  April,  1  9  !  7.  Application  blanks 
were  to  be  obtained  at  any  recruiting  station  or  army  office.  What  the  pe- 
cuniary compensation  w^as  to  be  was  not  then  known.  To  most  of  the  men 
that  did  not  matter.  They  knew^  there  w^ould  be  some  compensation,  but  most 
of  all  they  wanted  to  serve. 

Former  training  camps  men  and  men  from  university  organizations 
eagerly  requested  blanks.  National  Guardsmen  applied  for  discharge  in  order 
that  they  might  enter  the  camps.  Undergraduates  of  universities — mostly 
seniors — sought  admission.  Hundreds  of  other  university  trained  men  and 
business  men  of  no  previous  military  experience  requested  the  privilege  of 
enlisting  in  the  camps.  It  was  like  the  first  call  for  volunteers,  yet  Congress 
w^as  still  trying  to  decide  what  method  to  employ  in  raising  the  army  of  the 
United  States. 

The  following  centers  were  selected  for  the  establishment  of  the  camps: 
Ft.  Ogelthorpe,  Ga. ;  Plattsburg,  N.  Y. ;  Des  Moines,  Iowa;  Leon  Springs,  Tex.;

Many  of  these  stations — regular  army  posts — already  were  equipped 
w^ith  barracks  suitable  for  the  housing  of  the  expected  men.  Others,  however, 
had  few^  if  any  barracks  of  a  permanent  sort.  Illinois  generously  proffered  the 
brick  buildings  at  Fort  Sheridan  to  the  2,500  who  were  coming  from  Wisconsin 
and  Michigan.  To  the  men  of  Illinois  were  assigned  the  fields  south  of  these 
barracks — across  the  ravine.  But  the  fields  of  May  the  first  were  not  the  fields 
of  May  tenth  in  Sheridan  or  any  of  the  other  permanently  barrackless  camps. 
Hammers  rattled,  saws  hummed,  wagons  rumbled,  men  toiled.  The  evening' 
of  the  tenth  witnessed  a  village  of  sixty  buildings  on  the  west  of  the  road, 
across  the  ravine  and  twenty-four  more  on  the  eastern  side.  Carpenters  swept 
up  the  last  of  the  shavings  and  sawdust  within  the  glistening  barracks  while 
mammoth  trench  diggers  gnawed  noisily  and  deeply  great  ditches  without. 

On  May  the  first,  applications  for  entrance  closed.  The  next  week  was 
spent  by  the  responsible  officers  in  carefully  selecting  those  who  in  their  esti-

mation  were  the  most  deserving  of  the  hundreds  of  appHcants.  These  many 
hundreds,  during  the  same  period,  filled  with  uncertainty,  anxiously  aw^aited 
the  fateful  new^s.  Candidates  had  been  rated  A,  B,  or  C,  according  to  age  and 
the  amount  of  previous  military  experience  and  education  they  had  had.  This 
system  had  its  human  weaknesses,  but  it  seemed  to  bear  considerable  weight 
in  the  selection  of  the  prospects.  On  May  1  0th,  the  first  momentous  postal 
cards  were  received  by  some  few^  hundred  "A"  men,  requesting  them  to  start 
at  once  for  the  Citizens'  Camp  at  Fort  Sheridan.  They  were  to  bring  the  cards 
w^ith  them  to  present  to  the  Camp  Adjutant  upon  arrival.  From  then  on  to  the 
1  5th,  several  hundred  of  these  cards  were  mailed  daily,  thus  virtually  com- 
pleting the  call  of  5,000  men  to  Fort  Sheridan  and  40,000  to  all  the  camps 
of  the  United  States. 

Those  early  days  of  arrival  before  w^ork  really  commenced  on  the  I  5th 
were  filled  with  many  scenes  of  interest  and  action.  Each  train  w^hich  stopped 
in  front  of  that  famous  stone  station  w^ith  its  antiquated  brass  cannon  and 
caged  cannon  balls  (one  missing)  poured  forth  from  every  step  a  stream  of 
youth  whose  cheery  faces  and  eager  spirit  augured  the  unfailing  success  of  the 
future.  Of  course  all  w^ere  not  cheery.  Some  faces  were  distinctly  set  w^ith  de- 
termination.     But  there  were  none  downcast. 

From  the  station  the  new^comers  streamed  across  the  electric  tracks, 
across  the  road  and  along  the  cinder  path  which  cuts  diagonally  over  a  field

and  leads  past  the  guardhouse  to  the 
main  brick  barracks.  Some  wore  over- 
coats; some  had  none.      A  few  were  in 

uniform reUcs  of  the  "Border"  or  old 

National  Guard  days.  In  the  hands 
or  on  the  shoulders  of  many  there  was 
baggage  of  every  description  from  tel- 
escope suit  cases  to  blanket  rolls,  and 
even  some  bundles  done  up  in  genuine 
old  shelter  halves.  The  yellow  of  brand 
new  army  shoes  occasionally  caught 
the  eye.  There  w^as  little  levity  as  this 
stream  crunched  over  the  path.  None 
knew  definitely  what  was  ahead,  but  the 
majority  realized  there  would  be  work, 
and  plenty  of  it.  Then,  too,  all  were  not 
positively  sure  they  w^ere  "in."  There 
w^ere  those  wretched  physical  exams! 

From  cinders  they  echoed  along 
the  hard  concrete  in  front  of  the  tall 
barracks  just  past  the  drive  w^hich  leads  under  the  tower.  Beside  the  door 
— the  first  on  the  left  of  the  tower — w^as  a  board  sign  which  read,  "Wallace 
B.  Scales,  Adjutant."  This  was  the  goal  of  the  postal  card.  The  trainload 
formed  in  single  file  outside  of  this  door,  and  each  man  searched  for  his 
precious  "ticket."  A  man  would  knock,  step  in,  present  his  card  as  genteelly 
as  possible  "non  modo  belli",  receive  instructions  from  the  adjutant,  awk- 
wardly face  about  and  step  out.  His  next  goal  was  the  drill  hall.  Here  there 
w^ere  men  sitting  at  tables — fellows  who  already  had  been  commissioned  in 
the  reserve — who  would  enter  his  name  in  a  book  and  again  on  a  little  card. 
On  the  card  also  was  written  the  number  of  the  company  to  which  the  man 
was  assigned  and  the  number  of  the  barracks  in  which  he  should  sleep.  It 
happened  that  the  company  a  man  was  assigned  to  was  all  a  matter  of  chance. 
The  companies  were  filled  up  in  order,  beginning  with  the  number  1  and  run- 
ning through  1  5  in  the  Illinois  regiment;  and  beginning  with  A  and  ending  with 
P  in  the  Michigan-Wisconsin  regiment,   the  letter  J,   as  usual,   being  omitted. 

Upon  finding  out  the  number  or  letter  of  his  company,  the  candidate  next 
sought  out  the  temporary  headquarters  of  his  organization,  which  headquarters 
w^ere  located  somewhere  in  the  permanent  barracks.  The  room  located,  the 
candidate  would  find  there  usually  two  men — reserve  officers  assigned  to  the 

company  to  assist  in  its  administration who  would  have  them  register  in  a 

book  and  then  would  proceed  to  give  instructions  as  to  where  to  eat,  sleep 
and  secure  a  uniform  and  other  immediately  necessary  equipment.  The  first 
object  then  sought  by  the  newcomer  was  his  bed.  For  those  who  arrived 
before  the  1  2th,  these  were  in  the  main  barracks,  for  the  Illinois  as  well  as  the 
Michigan  and  Wisconsin  men,  because  the  Illinois  barracks  were  not  fully 
complete.     Up  until  the  1  5  th  all  meals  were  served  in  the  permanent  barracks. 


186 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

and  those  whose  bunks  were  in  the  huts  across  the  ravine  marched  three  times 
daily  back  to  receive  their  rations. 

Having  secured  a  bed,  the  candidate's  next  move  was  to  be  fitted  for  a 
uniform.  There  w^as  a  room  in  the  permanent  barracks  for  this  purpose.  Two 
or  three  supply  sergeants  w^ere  there  to  measure  and  equip.  Service  hats, 
coats,  breeches,  canvas  leggins,  sox  and  shoes  w^ere  available  if  a  man  could 
find  a  size  that  would  fit  him,  but  no  hat  cords.  The  training  camp  hat  cords 
had  not  yet  arrived  and  did  not  come  in  until  several  weeks  later.  Many  men 
unable  to  get  a  fit  in  coat  or  breeches  were  forced  to  appear  in  part  civilian 
attire  for  more  than  a  week.  No  part  of  the  uniform  was  of  gratuitous  issue. 
The  value  of  the  portions  secured  was  deducted  from  the  monthly  compensa- 
tion.     This  compensation  was  later  announced  to  be  $100.00  a  month. 

For  those  that  arrived  before  the  15  th  there  was  little  to  do  after  perma- 
nent barracks  had  been  located,  and  cots,  mattresses  and  uniform  secured. 
Time  was  consumed  in  hiking,  policing,  buying  text  books,  perhaps  taking  out 
a  little  insurance,   and  visiting  friends. 

On  the  1  5  th  of  May,  training  started  in  earnest  under  the  direction  of 
Colonel  William  J.  Nicholson,  Commandant  of  the  Camp.  Assisting  Colonel 
Nicholson  in  instruction  were  Major  H.  LaT.  Cavenaugh  as  senior  instructor; 
Lieut.-Colonel  James  A.  Ryan  and  Major  James  S.  Parker;  Lieut. -Colonel 
Ryan  being  in  direct  charge  of  the  Michigan-Wisconsin  group;  Major  Parker 
being  responsibie  for  the  Illinois  men.  The  Michigan-Wisconsin  camp  was 
called  the  Tenth  Provisional  Training  Regiment  (abbreviated  "10th  P. 
T.  R.");  and  the  Illinois  section,  the  "  I  1  th  P.  T.  R." ;  the  numbers  being 
derived  from  the  military  section  of  the  country  from  which  candidates  were 
chosen.  Each  of  these  regiments  w^as  made  up  of  fifteen  companies;  each 
company,  of  betw^een  1  60  and  1  70  men.  The  instructors  placed  in  command 
of  companies  were  Regular  Army  officers  of  the  rank  of  either  captain  or 
first  lieutenant.  Assisting  the  company  instructor  •were  generally  tw^o  reserve 
officers  of  the  rank  of  captain,  first  or  second  lieutenant. 

There  were  three  chaplains  at  the  camp.  Major  E.  J.  Vattman,  who  was 
the  dean  of  all  Regular  Army  chaplains  and  had  a  record  that  went  back  to 
the  Indian  campaigns  as  well  as  a  conspicuous  record  in  Cuba,  Porto  Rico 
and  the  Philippines.  With  him  were  associated  Chaplain  Charles  W.  Gilkey 
and  Chaplain  Myron  E.   Adams,  by  appointment  of  the  commanding  officer. 

By  most  companies,  the  morning  of  the  1  5th  w^as  spent  in  organizing 
temporarily  into  squads  and  platoons,  with  men  acting  in  the  various  posi- 
tions of  non-commissioned  officers  and  officers.  The  men  were  first  arranged 
according  to  size,  having  the  tallest  man  on  the  right  of  the  line.  Then  men 
who  had  had  some  previous  military  experience  were  temporarily  placed  to 
act  as  non-coms  and  lieutenants.  Some  sort  of  organization  having  thus  been 
accomplished  the  balance  of  the  day's  w^ork  consisted  of  preliminary  drill  in 
the  school  of  the  soldier,  physical  exercise,  lectures  and  hikes.  Speedily  the 
men  progressed  with  their  infantry  drill  until  by  the  end  of  the  first  week  they 
w^ere  marching  and   going  through  physical   exercises  with  rifles.

"Late"  civilians,  accustomed  to  saun- 
tering up  to  a  desk  at  the  luxurious  hour  of 
9  or  I  0  A.  M.,  welcomed  not  the  cruel  notes 
of  "first  call"  at  the  uncomfortable  stroke 
of  5:30 — especially  in  chill  barracks  on  a 
frosty  May  morn.  To  add  to  the  misery, 
"reveille"  was  blown  at  5  :40  and  "assem- 
bly" five  minutes  later.  Those  first  few 
mornings  some  could  "make  it"  only  by 
omitting  a  portion  of  the  apparel — gener- 
ally those  tw^o  miserable  pieces  of  canvass. 
But  one  such  offense  w^as  enough.  Follow^- 
ing  roll  call  the  company  would  proceed  to 
the  nearest  available  open  space  and  there, 
either    by    squads    or    as    a    whole,    proceed 

to     stimulate     circulation     and     appetite     with     thirty     minutes     of     vigorous 

calisthenics. 

"Soupy" — that  call  to  which  the  expression  "A.  W.  O.  L."  is  never  ap- 
plied  was   olown   at    6:20,    whereat  the   line,    already   eagerly   formed    again 

since  dismissal  from  physical  drill  would  "right  face",  go  "column  left"  and 
pound  over  the  board  floors  of  the  mess  shacks  with  a  hungry  viciousness 
which  caused  enameled  dishes  and  tin  spoons  to  leap  in  the  air  and  rattle, 
seeking  a  voice  to  cry  "route  step"  and  thus  "save  the  bridge."  The  breakfast 
fare  w^as  a  goodly  one  of  some  variety  of  canned  fruits,  cooked  or  "dry" 
cereal,  eggs  and  bacon,  and  large  slices  of  bread,  the  consumption  of  which 
w^as  greatly  enhanced  by  the  presence  of  pitchers  of  molasses.  There  seemed 
to  be  a  sufficient  supply  of  "Pullman"  cooks  and  waiters  to  cheerfully  produce 
a  never-ending  stream  of  supplies. 

Any  inclination  to  "linger  over  the  cups"  received  an  abrupt  jolt  at 
6:45.  The  company  area  must  be  "policed",  and  this  w^as  the  time  set  aside 
for  the  performance  of  that  task.  It  w^as  accomplished  in  each  company  by 
an  avalanche  of  men  w^ho  "vultured"  everything  north  and  south  between 
two  imaginary  lines,  from  barrels  to  match  sticks.  If  any  scrap  remained 
after  the  initial  tour,  it  was  the  duty  of 
the  first  sergeant  to  see  that  the  perform- 
ance was  repeated. 

Then  came  the  assembly  at  seven 
o'clock.  Here  commenced  the  w^ork  of 
the  day  except  for  those  who,  either  be- 
cause of  enterprise  or  inability  to  prepare 
the  night  before,  snatched  a  few  moments 
for  study  between  "first  call"  and  assem- 
bly for  drill. 

From  May  15th  until  June  15th  the 
training   for   the   thirty   companies   of    the

of  training  to  all.  The  aim  seemed  to  be  to  give  all  men  an  equal  foundation 
in  the  rudiments  of  infantry  drill  and  tactics,  no  matter  what  branch  of  the 
service  they  were  striving  eventually  to  enter.  It  w^as  an  excellent  plan,  espe- 
cially for  those  men  w^ho  w^ere  destined  to  train  the  National  Army. 

The  day  was  full  from  7  to  1  2  and  from  1  to  4  with  drill,  lectures  and 
hikes.     The  evening  from  7:30  to  9:30  was  devoted  to  study. 

"Success  in  battle  is  the  ultimate  object  of  all  military  training;  success 
may  be  looked  for  only  when  the  training  is  intelligent  and  thorough."  The 
staff  of  instructors  at  Fort  Sheridan — an  exceedingly  able  and  efficient  group 
of  officers — seemed  to  bear  this  opening  paragraph  of  the  Infantry  Drill 
Regulations  constantly  in  mind  and  endeavored  to  impress  it  indelibly  upon 
the  men,  for  the  success  of  whom  as  future  officers  they  were  to  be  so  largely 
responsible.  Generalities,  how^ever  true,  meant  nothing  to  them.  A  man 
must  know  his  drill  regulations  precisely.  The  result  was  that  many  candi- 
dates were  trained  to  the  point  of  being  able  to  give  instructions  to  others  in 
language  as  explicit  and  almost  identical  to  that  of  the  drill  regulations.  Work 
in  the  drill  regulations  the  first  month  covered  the  School  of  the  Soldier  up 
through  the  School  of  the  Battalion.  Also  definitions,  orders,  commands  and 
signals.  The  men  became  skilled  in  the  manual  of  arms,  in  sighting,  sub- 
caliber  practice,  and  in  the  use  of  the  rifle  in  physical  drill.  The  first  principles 
of  bayonet  drill  were  established.  The  manual  of  guard  duty  was  taken  up 
and  acquaintance  made  with  "Sergeant  Hill"  in  the  "Studies  in  Minor  Tactics." 
The  men  learned  how  to  roll  their  packs  and  to  carry  them  full  for  hikes  of 
several  miles.  They  learned  how  to  keep  their  quarters  in  an  orderly  manner, 
to  care  for  their  rifle,  and  to  conduct  a  Saturday  inspection.  More  than  learn- 
ing to  command,  this  first  month,  they  learned  the  really  first  essential — 
to  obey. 

An  idea  of  the  rapidity  with  which  work  commenced  and  some  impres- 
sions of  a  candidate  giving  a  glimpse  of  the  early  Camp  days  are  given  in  a 
letter  dated  May    17,    1917: 

We  are  down  to  solid  work  now,  and  it  seems  as  though  life  of  any 
other  sort  were  something  of  a  very  distant  past. 

I  surely  was  soft  when  this  new  life  commenced,  and  am  just  be- 
ginning to  experience  the  old  time  feelings  of  health  driving  out  the 
results  of  confinement  and  smoke. 

It's  just  as  it  was  last  summer — you  see  very  little  of  anybody  out- 
side of  your  own  company.  Of  course  it  isn't  much  fun  not  knowing 
many  in  the  company, — makes  it  seem  like  the  first  few  days  of  school  or 
college but  we  aren't  here  for  fun  anyway. 

Every  company  has  a  regular  captain  in  charge.  We  have  a  good 
instructor  for  our  first  platoon — a  regular  army  sergeant,  who  has  been 
drilling  high  school  companies  in  the  city.  He  holds  a  captain's  commis- 
sion in  the  reserve. 

We   were   issued   new   equipment   today cartridge   belts,    canteens, 

mess  kits,  haversacks,  rifles  and  bayonets.      All  of  the  latest  model  and 
new.

Artillery   knowledge   of  drill    has   been    sufficient   so    far,    but   when 
work  with  the  rifles  commenses,   there  will  be  lots  to  learn. 


FRIDAY  A.  M. 

Had  only  a  fair  night  last  night,  because  I  drew  a  cot  without  a  mat- 
tress when  we  were  shifted  from  barracks  B  to  A.  We  bunk  now  accord- 
ing to  squads. 

Have  just  been  out  drilling  with  a  bunch  with  rifles,  trying  to  learn 
the  manual  of  arms. 

The  food  is  great 

There  has  been  no  confusion  at  all  in  handling  this  crowd  of  men. 
The  experience  of  last  summer  must  have  taught  them  a  good  many 
lessons. 

There  are  a  good  many  men  of  a  deal  of  experience  here — some 
have  been   in  the  Spanish  War  and   Philippine  Insurrection.      One   man 

named is  a  past  captain  of  Chicago  police large,  deep  voice 

and  humorous. 

The  majority  seem  to  keep  in  good  health.  They  are  working  up 
distances  in  the  hikes  gradually  so  that  there  are  few  sore  feet.  All  are 
well-browned  already.  It  will  be  a  far  more  imposing  crowd,  though, 
when  all  get  uniforms.      There  are  still  a  great  many  without  them. 

Have  been  in  swimming  twice.  Water  as  cold  as  ice.  So  are  the 
showers.     No  hot  water  at  all. 

Heard  of  one  company  where  an  employer  was  a  private  under  his 
office  boy  as  sergeant. 

The  newspapers  run  a  column  or  so  of  "bull*  every  day  which  is 
pretty  well  colored  up.  You  read  them  to  find  out  what  is  going  on 
in  camp. 

Don't  worry  about  us.     It's  a  wonderfully  healthy  life. 

The  drill  of  the  day  during  the  first  month  was  over  at  4  P.  M.,  and  at 
4:30  during  the  last  two.  The  realization  of  the  longed-for  moment  of  parole 
to  a  long  pent-up  prisoner  could  hardly  be  more  welcome  than  was  the  brassy 
blast  of  "recall"  to  the  brain-fagged,  dust-begrimed  embryo  officer.  When  a 
heavy-footed  column  swung  scuffling  along  the  road  and  finally  turned  down 
the  proper  company  "street  ",  it  was  with  much  inward  groaning  that  eyes 
lolled  to  the  right  trying  to  get  the  proper    "dress  "   after  the  acting  officer  in 

charge  had  called  "Squads  right!    Compan-e-e !  "      And  when  the  command 

of  execution  finally  came  there  was  a  breathless  silence  lest  there  be  some 
useless  w^ords  before  "dismissed!  "  Whoops  of  glee,  sighs  of  relief  and  silence 
followed  equally  this  magic  word.  Those  still  "peppy'  ran  for  the  wooden 
doors.  Others  aimed  for  the  same  goal,  but  time  was  of  no  import.  Bathrobe 
or  slicker,  towel,  soap  and  slippers  were  first  in  the  minds  of  all.  Then  down 
the  line  of  barracks  they  would  stroll  or  run  having  these  articles  not  merely 
in  mind.     That  chilly  month  of  May  produced  showers  of  equal  hue.     Needless

to  say  the  time  consumed  thereunder  was  not  immense.  Milder  weather 
brought  milder  showers.  By  July  they  were  really  hot.  Some  bothered  not 
with  indoor  spraying.  The  open  lake  held  more  charm,  so  down  the  bluff  they 
would  romp,  across  the  sand  and  into  the  chilly  deep,  a  few^,  absent  in  mind, 
still  with  a  wrist  watch  on. 

There  is  nothing  like  a  chill  lake  for  refreshment.  This,  combined  with 
a  day  of  open  air  and  action,  w^as  responsible  in  part  for  the  great  canteen 
popularity.  There  were  two  such  places  of  chocolate  bars,  crackers  and  "pop" 
— one  in  the  permanent  barracks  and  one  in  a  little  shack  beside  the  bridge 
on  the  Illinois  side  of  the  ravine.  Between  4:30  and  6,  and  even  after  supper, 
there  were  patrons  massed  there,  buying.  Of  course,  everybody  w^as  not 
there.  Many  indulged  in  indoor  or  outdoor  baseball,  while  others  amused 
themselves  playing  "Leap  Frog"  and  "Duck  on  the  Rock."  On  July  9th  a 
large  throng  was  entertained  by  an  exhibition  ball  game  between  the  Sox  and 
Athletics,  in  which  the  Sox  were  defeated,   5  to   I . 

Some  few^  of  the  candidates  w^hose  homes  w^ere  but  a  short  distance  from 
the  Camp  would  occasionally  hasten  away  to  enjoy  a  home-cooked  supper 
and  rush  back  to  be  present  at  the  7:30  assembly  for  study.  Such  a  treat  was 
not  open  to  all.  Over  the  w^eek-ends,  however,  there  was  more  of  a  chance. 
Saturday  mornings  were  devoted  principally  to  policing,  inspections  and  the 
making  up  of  back  work.  At  noon  the  day's  work  ended.  The  War  Depart- 
ment well  realized  that  relaxation  was  an  absolute  necessity  and  that  w^ork 
at  a  high  pitch  could  not  continue  with  benefit  even  through  the  whole  of  Sat- 
urday. Rapid  training  was  necessary,  but  not  training  to  a  point  of  complete 
exhaustion. 

The  siding,  leading  from  the  main  line  of  the  "North-Western"  to  the 
quartermaster  storehouses,  had  been  extended  to  a  point  beyond  the  guard- 
house. This  extension  was  appreciated  in  no  small  degree  by  the  majority  of 
those  fortunate  enough  to  secure  passes  over  the  much  anticipated  w^eek-end, 
for  when  bedlam  broke  loose  at  12  o'clock  there  was  always  a  lengthy  line  of 
yellow^  coaches  on  this  recent  extension,  waiting  to  swallow^  up  the  seekers  of 
diversion  from  the  military. 

Many  of  the  men  had  homes  to  go  to.  The  families  of  others  lived  too 
far  away  to  make  a  week-end  trip  possible.  It  was  for  the  sake  of  these  latter 
that  many  families  of  Lake  Forest,  Highland  Park,  Glencoe,  Winnetka,  Ken- 
ilworth,  Evanston  and  Lake  Bluff  offered  the  hospitality  of  their  homes.  It 
meant  a  great  deal  to  the  men  to  be  so  generously  entertained.  These  people 
of  the  nearby  towns  who  were  so  kind  will  have  the  everlasting  gratitude  of 
the  men  who,  in  their  own  misfortune,  were  fortunate  enough  to  have  been 
the  recipients  of  this  hospitality. 

Recreation  and  entertainment  were  by  no  means  entirely  of  an  impromptu 
nature,  nor  was  the  planning  for  them  left  wholly  in  the  hands  of  the  candi- 
dates. The  men  themselves  were  responsible  for  a  great  deal  of  the  fun  and 
sport,   but   the  general   direction   of   organized   sports,    planned   entertainment

and  studies  other  than  miHtary,  was  under  the  supervision  of  that  organization 
which  had  men  on  its  staff  whose  time  was  devoted  entirely  to  encouraging 
those  activities  which  w^ould  be  of  greatest  all  around  benefit  to  the  men the 

Y.  M.  C.  A. 

Just  as  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  moved  w^ith  the  troops  to  the  Border  in  1  9  1  6,  so 
did  one  of  its  huts  grow^  "up  together  w^ith  the  quarters  of  the  men  at  Fort 
Sheridan.  The  building  consisted  of  a  lecture  and  entertainment  hall  large 
enough  to  seat  over  500  people;  library,  game  and  music  rooms  (also  used 
as  committee  rooms),  five  small  study  rooms,  writing  tables  to  accommodate 
over  one  hundred  men  at  a  time,  moving  picture  booth,  and  rooms  for  five 
secretaries.  Mr.  G.  M.  Martin,  General  Secretary,  was  in  charge.  Associated 
w^ith  him  were  Chaplains  Charles  W.  Gilkey  and  Myron  E.  Adams,  in  charge 
of  religious  and  educational  activities;  Mr.  E.  C.  Stevens,  director  of  social 
activities;  Mr.  H.  B.  Miller  (later  appointed  Camp  Athletic  Officer  by  Colonel 
Nicholson),  in  charge  of  physical  and  recreative  activities,  and  Mr.  J.  H. 
Nudkiff. 

Some  such  a  center  as  that  afforded  by  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  in  a  training 
camp  is  more  than  a  luxury.  It  is  a  necessity.  And  all  members  of  the  camps 
at  Sheridan  w^ill  agree  that,  thanks  to  the  able  secretaries  working  there,  the 
need  at  the  Fort  w^as  admirably  filled.  Fourteen  classes  in  French  were  organ- 
ized out  of  the  "Young  College"  of  400  w^ho  applied  for  the  course.  Each 
company  had  its  athletic  officer,  and  inter-company  ball  games  were  accord- 
ingly arranged.  Every  Tuesday  and  Thursday  evening  band  concerts  w^ere 
given.  There  were  amateur  theatricals,  movies,  or  both,  once  a  week.  On 
Sundays  services  w^ere  held  w^here  could  be  heard  such  interesting  men  as 
Chaplain  Gilkey,  Chaplain  Adams,  Dr.  John  Timothy  Stone  and  Dean  Shailer 
Matthews.  Among  other  speakers  heard  during  the  week  were  Julius  Rosen- 
w^ald.  President  Harry  Pratt  Judson,  Dr.  W.  A.  Evans,  Homer  Rodeheaver, 
Major  Koehler  and  Colonel  Nicholson.  The  "Y"  was  ever  open  and  ready 
to  serve  the  men  of  the  Camp.  Many  who  for  the  first  time  at  Fort  Sheridan 
became  acquainted  with  the  work  which  it  was  striving  to  do  became  and 
remained  its  staunch  friends  ever  after. 

There  were  others,  too,  in  the  Camp  whose  main  purpose  was  to  serve. 
These  were  the  Boy  Scouts  who  reported  for  duty  during  the  opening  days  of 
the  Camp.  They  acted  as  guides  to  bewildered  recruits.  They  served  long 
tedious  hours  as  orderlies.  They  performed  innumerable  odd  tasks  and 
errands  for  instructors  and  students  who  had  little  time  for  details.  And  last 
but  not  least,  they  acted  as  carriers  and  distributors  for  that  most-looked- 
forward-to  treat  of  the  day — the  mail.  It  is  hardly  necessary  to  say  that 
during  the  early  days  especially  their  services  were  well   nigh   indispensable. 

Physical   examinations — most  dread    of  all    things   to   the   man   who   was 

eager  to  get  into  the  fray commenced  their  threatening  grind  the  last  week 

of  the  first  month  of  training.  Every  man  was  supposed  to  have  had  an  exam- 
ination of  some  sort  before  filing  his  application  for  admission,  but  many  of 
these  examinations  had  not  been  thorough  and  were  of  course  conducted  by

a  great  number  of  physicians  not  schooled  in  some  of  the  peculiar  military 
technicalities.  At  a  certain  scheduled  hour,  a  company  would  be  marched 
over  to  the  old  hospital  on  the  north  side  of  the  ravine.  The  men  would  form 
a  single  file  outside  and  by  jumps  of  about  ten  at  a  time,  gradually  become 
assimilated  through  the  front  entrance.  Long  before  the  last  of  the  men  had 
gone  in,  the  first  were  coming  out  from  some  side  door,  left  sleeves  rolled  to 
the  shoulder  and  upper  arms  feeling  strangely  queer  but  show^ing  nothing 
except  occasionally  a  tiny  crimson  drop.  If  the  stories  of  these  aching-armed 
jolliers  could  be  believed,  Dante  himself  w^as  w^ithin  personally  conducting  a 
tour  through  those  regions  which  he  has  so  w^ell  pictured  for  us.  The  low- 
spirited  remainder  knew  not  whether  to  laugh  it  off  or  become  more  con- 
cerned.    The  usual  result  was  a  forced  grin  and  absolute  petrification. 

On  Thursday,  June  1  4th,  one  month  after  the  commencement  of  training, 
appeared  the  first  copy  of  "The  Ft.  Sheridan  Reveille",  the  paper  which,  after 
the  issue  of  Thursday,  June  2 1  st,  w^as  to  be  published  every  Friday  until 
training  at  Fort  Sheridan  ceased  to  be.  It  w^as  a  paper  gotten  up  to  keep 
the  men  informed  as  to  what  had  gone  on,  w^hat  was  going  on,  and  what 
was  to  go  on  in  camp  and  in  the  military  world.  It  also  aimed  to  cheer  with 
a  fund  of  fun.  The  editors  consisted  of  E.  B.  Lockwood,  managing  editor; 
R.  F.  Rolfe,  advertising  manager,  and  Lew  Merrill,  artist  and  correspondent. 
There  w^ere  eight  good  pages  of  reading  matter,  cartoons  and  advertisements.

NEW  ONES  ON   "THE  DOUBLE" 


In  addition  to  important  news  articles  and  "Latest  Bulletins",  a  sketch,  usually 
of  a  prominent  officer  of  the  camp,  occupied  the  front  page.  A  "Y.  M.  C.  A. 
Column ',  "R.  O.  T.  C.  Notes",  poems  and  jingles,  bits  of  news  and  cartoons, 
with  "ads",  sprinkled  in,  filled  the  other  seven.  The  paper  was  a  great 
success. 

The  first  column  of  the  first  page  of  the  first  "Reveille"   tells  an  interesting 
story : 

This  is  the  fifth  week  at  the  Reserve  Officers'  Training  Camp five 

weeks  of  downright,  hard  work.      The  results  are  wholly  satisfactory  to 
both  the  men  and  the  instructors. 

The  rapidity  with  which  the  rudiments  of  military  training  have  been 
grasped  by  men  who  have  heretofore  had  no  experience  in  that  line  is  one 
of  the  remarkable  features  of  the  first  five  w^eeks. 

In  spite  of  a  lot  of  wild  rumors  to  the  effect  that  the  final  physical 
tests  w^ould  result  in  w^holesale  rejections,  quite  the  contrary  is  true.  The 
men  are  showing  up  well  in  these  final  tests  and  it  now  appears  that  the 
rejections  from  the  physical  standpoint  will  be  very  few.  The  grind  in 
getting  into  trim  has  been  very  hard,  and  the  work  incident  to  this  task, 
added  to  the  tense  uncertainty  about  the  final  outcome  of  the  tests,  has 
placed  a  severe  strain  upon  the  men.  That  they  are  coming  out  well 
even  under  this  strain  shov/s  that  when  they  get  into  full  swing  Uncle  Sam 
will  have  no  occasion  to  worry  about  the  conduct  of  his  new^  officers  under 
the  trying  conditions  soon  to  confront  them.

The  willingness  and  eager- 
ness of  the  men  to  learn  is  another 
feature  of  the  Camp.  it  is  grim 
business  for  which  they  are  pre- 
paring, and  they  are  going  about 
their  preparations  for  the  firing 
line  with  a  grimness  that  bodes  ill 
for  the  adversary. 

Up  to  this  time  the  general 
rudiments  of  the  training  have 
been  along  practically  the  same 
lines.  Beginning  next  w^eek.  it  is 
generally  understood  that  a  gen- 
eral shake-up  w^ill  occur  and  that 
from  then  on  the  branches  of  the 
service  w^ill  divide.  Those  w^ho 
are  assigned  to  Cavalry  service 
w^ill  then  be  given  special  instruc- 
tion along  that  line.  The  Artillery 
men  w^ill  proceed  to  points  desig- 
nated by  the  Government  for  spe- 
cial instruction  in  their  branch, 
while  the  Infantry  men  w^ill  be  in- 
structed in  trench  fighting,  snip- 
ing, etc.  It  is  generally  understood  that  the  engineers  will  be  transferred 
to  points  where  they  can  continue  their  preparatory  work  with  the  full 
use  of  engineering  equipment. 

The  tabulation  of  reports  from  company  instructors  showing  the 
choice  made  by  every  man  in  Camp  as  to  the  arm  he  w^ould  like  to  enter 
was  completed,  and  the  task  of  grouping  them  in  accordance  with  orders 
of  the  War  Department  was  begun.  These  orders  provide  that  there 
shall  be  nine  companies  of  infantry,  three  batteries  of  field  artillery  and 

one  troop  of  cavalry  to  each  of  the  two  provisional  regiments one  made 

up  of  Illinois  and  the  other  of  Michigan  and  Wisconsin  men.      In  addition, 
each  regiment  already  has  its  company  of  engineers. 

But  one  part  of  the  redistribution  jumped  ahead  of  the  others. 
One  hundred  out  of  254  men  who  chose  to  try  for  commissions  in  the 
Coast  Artillery  were  set  aside  as  the  group  for  this  branch  and  ordered  to 
prepare  to  leave  for  a  seaboard  point  where  they  can  be  given  training 
with  the  big  guns.      Fifty  of  these  men  come  from  each  regiment. 

The  tabulation  of  the  choices  made  by  the  candidates  shows  that 
both  the  Field  Artillery  and  the  Cavalry  were  "over-subscribed. "  The 
excess  probably  w^ill  be  used  in  infantry. 


WAVING  BACK  AT  THE  LAKE 


The  tabulation  follows: 

ILLINOIS  MICH.-WISC 

Infantry                                      1,022  1,389

Cavalry 236  245 

Coast  Artillery                          110  144 

Col.  W.  J.  Nicholson,  the  Commandant,  said  he  felt  sure  that  the 
number  to  be  discharged  in  the  physical  tests  now  going  on  will  not 
exceed  3  per  cent — or  about   1  50  men. 


198 


THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 


The  above  prophecy  for  the  most  part  came  true  with  the  exception  that 
the  artillery  men  did  not  make  a  change  of  station  for  their  training.  Although 
the  number  of  men  failing  to  pass  the  physical  tests  was  not  in  excess 
of  three  per  cent,  still  every  company  lost  from  three  to  five  men.  This 
was  the  first  transfer  to  take  place  and  it  served  to  impress  the  seriousness  of 
the  situation  more  than  ever  on  the  men  who  survived  it.  This  iron  hand 
of  rigid  rules  w^hich  plucked  men  aw^ay  because  of  various  physical  handicaps, 
seemed  unnecessarily  severe,  yet  it  had  to  be.  Some  of  the  most  promising 
candidates  were  thus  mercilessly  forced  out  of  the  running.  Eyes  v/ere  the 
cause  in  many  cases.  It  was  a  sorrowful  day  for  the  remaining  comrades  w^hen 
these  plucky  fellows  had  to  pack  up  and  leave.  And  the  men  themselves 
must  have  felt  even  w^orse,  although  they  bore  it  all  with  a  smile.  If  one  should 
follow  the  future  actions  of  these  men  he  w^ould  find  that  the  great  majority 
immediately  redoubled  their  efforts  to  enter  some  branch  of  the  service  where 
their  slight  ailments  w^ould  be  of  no  hindrance.  Some  even  went  to  Canada 
to  enlist  in  order  to  give  their  services  to  the  common  cause. 

On  Saturday,  June  1  6th,  reorganization  took  place  in  preparation  for  the 
work  of  specialization.  The  Engineers,  members  of  old  Company  E  of  the 
Michigan-Wisconsin  Regiment  and  old  Company  1  of  the  Illinois  Camp, 
had  left  the  latter  part  of  the  week  for  the  Army  Service  Schools  at  Fort 
Leavenw^orth,    Kans.      Their  quarters  w^ere  to  be  used   for  administration  pur-

poses.      The  newly-formed  companies,  batteries  and  troops,  with  their  new^ly- 
appointed   instructors,    were  assigned   to   the   old  barracks,    as  follows:

The  afternoon  of  the  1  6th  was  one  of  great  activity.  A  change  of  quar- 
ters w^as  necessary  for  practically  every  man.  He  first  must  locate  his  new 
barracks,  then  a  cot.  The  cot,  of  course,  he  preferred  to  have  near  a  former 
friend,  but  this  w^as  not  always  possible.  Friends  of  the  first  month  were 
separated,  but  new^  bunks  in  new  companies  w^ere  to  lay  the  foundation  for 
new  friendships.  The  moving  of  personal  possessions  did  not  take  long  after 
a  cot  had  been  located.  In  fact,  the  entire  transformation  was  accomplished 
with  a  surprising  lack  of  confusion.  By  Saturday  evening  the  majority  were 
ready  for  the  new  tasks  of  Monday,  and  week-end  passes  w^ere  enjoyed 
as  usual. 

On  Monday,  June  18th,  at  7  A.  M.,  the  newly-formed  companies,  bat- 
teries and   troops  assembled,    were   temporarily   organized   into   platoons   and

squads,  and  entered  upon  the  work  of  specialization  with  an  enthusiasm  seem- 
ingly increased  by  the  vision  of  a  definite  goal. 

On  the  following  day  a  communication  was  published  in  the  newspapers 
of  the  country,  giving  notice  of  the  standard  demanded  of  the  future  officers, 
signed  by  Adjutant  General  McCain.      The  edict  follows: 

It  is  time  to  correct  erroneous  impressions.  The  best  qualified  of 
all  reserve  officers  and  candidates  w^ill  be  selected  to  become  officers  of 
the  regiment  which  the  training  company  represents.  The  object  is  to 
appoint  from  each  company  troop  and  battery  men  in  such  numbers  and 
grades  as  to  complete  the  quota  of  officers  needed  for  each  regiment 
after  officers  of  the  regular  army  have  been  provided.  The  total  number 
selected  and  the  number  in  each  grade  will  therefore  depend  upon  the 
regular  army  contingent  appointed  to  each  regiment.  While  the  age 
limits  prevent  the  appointment  of  older  men  to  lower  grades,  they  do 
not  prevent  the  appointment  of  younger  men  to  higher  grades — thus,  a 
man  of  30  may  be  a  captain  or  a  major. 

Appointments  to  Be  Speeded 

Those  qualified  to  be  reserve  officers  at  the  end  of  the  training 
period,  but  not  selected  as  indicated  above,  w^ill  be  appointed  officers 
at  once  and  continued  in  service  for  the  duration  of  the  war,  subject,  of 
course,  to  elimination  for  misconduct,  etc.,  or  to  relief  from  active  duty 
as  the  result  of  a  material  and  unforeseen  change  in  the  military  situation. 

Those  classified  under  the  paragraph  should  be  such  as  are  com- 
petent to  serve  as  additional  officers  of  the  prospective  regiment  during 
its  organization  period  and  should  be  the  kind  of  men  who  are  able  to 
assist  in  organizing  and  training  the  new  regiment,  to  assist  in  teaching 
inexperienced  and  non-commissioned  officers  their  special  duties. 


202 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

They  should  be  the  kind  of  men  that  can  be  counted  upon  as  good 
officers  for  troops  to  be  organized  later  when  they  have  had  the  advan- 
tage of  their  experience  with  the  half  million  in  its  formation  period.  Or 
they  should  be  good  temporary  officers  in  the  regular  army.  They  will 
be  recommended  for  appointment  as  second  lieutenant  if  under  3  I  years 
and  6  months  of  age;  otherw^ise,  as  first  lieutenant.  The  number  will, 
of  course,  vary.  It  is  more  a  matter  of  enforcing  a  high  standard  than 
appointing  a  large  number. 

Quality  to  Be  First  Aim 

It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  other  camps  will  follow  if  the  w^ar 
continues.  An  excellent  man  w^ith  three  months'  training  is  much  supe- 
rior to  a  weak  man  with  a  year's  training;  hence,  it  is  better  to  rely  on 
the  excellent  men  of  the  next  camp  than  to  rely  on  weak  men,  no  matter 
how  much  time  they  have  devoted  to  training. 

Men  who  have  definite  promise  of  being  competent  officers,  assum- 
ing additional  training,  w^ill  be  encouraged  to  enter  the  next  camp.  It 
is  expected  that  the  number  of  these  men  will  be  quite  small  and  w^ill 
include  only  young  men  of  most  exceptional  merit  and  natural  ability 
w^ho  have  had  no  military  experience  prior  to  the  opening  of  these  camps. 
No  reserve  officer  of  enlisted  men  of  the  regular  army  or  national  guard 
will  be  included  in  this  class. 

Sifting  Process  Described 

All  others,  being  those  w^ho  have  merely  survived  the  training 
period  without  having  demonstrated  affirmatively  that  they  possess  the 
fitness  and  efficiency  necessary  in  an  officer,  will  be  discharged  with 
the  expiration  of  enlistment.  Reserve  officers  in  this  class  will  be  recom- 
mended for  discharge. 

Enlisted  men  of  the  Regular  Army  and  National  Guard  will  be 
ordered  to  their  respective  regiments.  Men  of  indifferent  promise  will 
not  be  compelled  to  remain  in  training. 

Cognizance  must  be  taken  of  the  fact  that  the  men  of  the  National 
Army  w^ill  be  between  2  1  and  3  1  years  and  of  every  gradation  of  intelli- 
gence and  standing.  Immature,  weak-looking  or  unpresentable  officers 
are  absolutely  out  of  the  question.  The  requisite  is  military  efficiency. 
It  is  emphasized  that  military  efficiency  implies  ability  to  lead. 

The  men  were  hungry  for  any  authoritative  information  from  Washington 
which  might  indicate  the  plans  and  prospects  of  the  future.  Such  an  announce- 
ment as  that  of  General  McCain  served  to  furnish  an  idea  of  what  was  expected 
of  candidates  and  what  the  rewards  of  their  efforts  would  be. 

This  second  and  final  period  of  training  commenced  and  continued  with 
an  intensity  even  greater  than  that  of  the  first.  The  preliminary  training  of 
an  all-around  nature  had  been  completed.  Energy  was  now  diverted  towards 
the  work  of  specialization,  although  there  were  several  subjects  which  of 
necessity  were  continued  and  taken  up  anew,  alike  by  all. 

Infantry,  Artillery  and  Cavalry  continued  the  "Studies  in  Minor  Tactics" 
for  a  period  of  four  w^eeks  more. 

A  new  study  of  importance  to  be  taken  up  simultaneously  by  the  three 
arms  was  that  of  mapping.      The  subject  was  carefully  explained  by  the  in-

structors,  text-books  entitled  "Notes  on  Sketching  and  "Notes  on  Contour- 
ing" were  distributed,  and  preliminary  studies  commenced.  The  first  week 
of  study  on  this  subject  was  devoted  to  becoming  familiar  w^ith  the  contents 
of  the  two  text-books.  The  next  week  position  sketches  were  made,  contour- 
ing practiced,  and  road  sketches  draw^n,  three  inches  to  one  mile.  Before 
making  the  road  sketches  it  w^as  necessary  to  become  acquainted  with  the 
mysterious  "alidade."  Drawing  boards,  too,  were  purchased  or  fashioned. 
To  establish  accuracy  in  one's  "alidade,"  a  man  had  to  determine  his  "pace 
scale  "  Stakes  were  placed  100  yards  apart  and  men  strode  from  one  stake 
to  the  next,  intently  counting,  in  an  endeavor  to  find  their  average  number 
of  strides. 

Follow^ing  the  road  sketch,  a  map  of  a  certain  portion  of  the  camp  area 
w^as  required.  This,  of  course,  was  the  hardest  work  of  all,  for  it  required 
the  accurate  locating  of  roads,  buildings  and  contours.  Mappers  v/orked  in 
pairs.  A  board  on  a  tripod,  a  sketch  on  the  board  and  an  alidade  on  the 
sketch,  with  a  man  squinting  carefully  along  the  alidade,  was  a  common  sight 
during  mapping  week.      Tripods,  however,  were  not  plentiful.      The  partner's 

back  or  a  handy  post  or 
rock  generally  served 
the  purpose.  The  area 
sketch  was  the  last  re- 
quired of  all  but  the  ar- 
tillery men.  It  w^as  nec- 
essary for  them  to  go 
further  into  the  making 
of  "panoramic 
sketches.  " 

There  were  tw^o 
other  subjects,  not 
touched  upon  in  the 
first  period,  w^hich  were 
introduced  during  the 
second  "term  "  in  every 
company,  battery  and 
troop — the  study  of  the 
"Manual  for  Courts- 
Martial"  and  "U.  S. 
Army  Regulations." 
To  the  lawyers,  and 
there  w^ere  a  good

biage of  the  former  was 
in  no  minor  w^ay  pleas-

penal  code  to  habitues 
of  the  traditionally  hos- 
tile civil  courts.  Nev- 
ertheless, the  military 
instructor  was  generally 
present  during  such 
classes,  in  order  that 
there  might  be  no  ques- 
tion as  to  the  proper 
interpretation  of  the 
army  text.  The  term 
"Military  Jurisdiction," 
found  at  the  top  of  the 
first  page  of  Chapter  1 , 
glared  staggeringly  at 
the  candidate  of  a  non- 
legal  turn  of  mind.  He 
wondered  if  he  ever 
would  be  able  to  mas- 
ter the  strange  sound- 
ing w^ords  and  phrases 
which  followed.  After 
a  few^  days'  study,  how- 
ever, he  found  that  the 
explanations  were  not 
so  terribly  vague  after 
all.  He  learned  the 
sources  and  kinds  of 
military  jurisdiction  and 
the     tribunals     through 

which  this  jurisdiction  should  be  exercised.  Of  most  interest  to  him  among 
these  tribunals  w^ere  the  summary,  special  and  general  courts.  He  found  out 
the  distinction  between  these  three  "courts-martial  " — who  had  power  to 
appoint  members,  those  persons  and  offenses  over  which  each  court  had 
jurisdiction,  the  method  of  procedure,  organization,  right  to  witnesses  and 
depositions,  rules  of  evidence,  concluding  incidents  of  the  trial,  punishments, 
records  of  trial,  and  final  action  to  be  taken  by  the  appointing  or  superior 
authority. 

After  a  knowledge  of  the  courts  and  their  powers  had  been  gained,  the 
important  Aritcles  of  War,  especially  the  "punitive,"  54th  to  96th,  inclusive, 
were  studied  in  detail.  The  I  I  0th  warned  of  certain  vital  articles  w^hich  must 
be  read  and  explained  to  every  soldier  at  the  time  of  his  enlistment  and  every 
six  months  thereafter.  If  this  warning  were  adhered  to,  a  military  offender 
could  never  say,  "I  did  not  know.  "  A  casual  reading  of  the  last  of  the  "puni- 
tive articles"  would  almost  lead  a  prospective  member  of  a  court  to  think, 
"Why  all  the  other  articles?      When  in  doubt  apply  the  96th!" 

The  study  of  the  "Manual"  revealed  the  iron  hand  of  power  which  might

206 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

be  called  upon  to  enforce  discipline,  but  there  was  no  portion  of  the  law 
which,  if  delegated  to  the  judgment  of  fair  and  conscientious  officers,  would 
be  considered  unjust.  In  truth,  the  candidates  learned  that  sentences  in  the 
majority  of  cases,  meted  out  by  military  courts-martial,  savored  more  of  justice 
than  those  awarded  by  the  helter-skelter  twelve  of  the  civil  courts,  who,  at 
times,  unfortunately,  are  swayed  by  sentimentality. 

Knowledge  gained  from  the  "Manual"  was  visualized  during  the  latter 
days  of  study  through  the  appointment,  by  the  instructors,  of  courts,  culprits 
and  counsel.  Trials  were  carried  through  from  start  to  finish.  Thus  did  a 
few  test  the  military  legal  machinery,  while  the  rest  stood  by  to  criticize 
and  learn. 

Study  of  the  "U.  S.  Army  Regulations"  revealed  a  vast  field  of  military 
customs  and  rules,  know^ledge  of  a  large  portion  of  w^hich  must  be  gained  by 
a  candidate  in  order  that  he  might  become  a  successful  officer.  There  was 
not  time  to  study  the  contents  of  the  entire  volume.  Only  the  most  important 
"paragraphs"  were  assigned.  These  must  be  mastered.  Information  con- 
tained in  those  unassigned  would  have  to  be  looked  up  when  occasion  de- 
manded. The  subjects  covered  in  "Army  Regulations"  are  vast  and  diverse 
— from  courtesies  to  arrest  and  confinement,  from  the  Adjutant  Generals 
Department  to  the  Indians,   from  Money  Accountability  to  Post  Gardens. 

There  was  great  excitement  in  Camp  on  Monday,  July  9th,  for  on  that 
day  Col.  Henry  J.  Reilly,  with  the  old  First  Illinois  Field  Artillery,  recently 
named  the  I  49th,  arrived  at  the  Fort.  The  camping  ground  in  the  woods 
south  of  the  barracks  was  none  too  choice,  but  with  the  aid  of  sand  and  gravel 
the  men  made  habitable  the  soggy,  swampy  ground.  The  coming  of  this 
regiment  was  of  particular  interest  to  many  of  the  men  at  the  Training  Camp, 
for  the  summer  before  they  themselves  had  been  members  of  one  or  another 
of  its  batteries.  It  was  of  vital  interest  to  all  of  the  men  taking  artillery  train- 
ing, because  the  guns  and  horses  of  the  1  49th  were  to  be  the  ones  with  which 
they  should  train.  It  was  of  general  interest  to  all  in  Camp  because  this  was 
a  regiment  which  was  shaping  itself  for  service  overseas,  and  before  long 
would  be  there.  The  regiment  stirred  not  only  the  interest  of  all,  but  likewise 
the  envy — it  would  soon  be  at  the  front! 

Equilibrium  must  not  be  upset  by  such  immediate  prospects  of  action  as 
this.  The  candidate's  greatest  opportunity  for  service,  whether  here  or  over- 
seas,  lay  in  doing  well  the  task  which  lay  ahead,  no  matter  how  distant  the 
goal  might  seem. 

Besides  "Studies  in  Minor  Tactics,"  "Mapping,"  "Manual  for  Courts- 
Martial"  and  "U.  S.  Army  Regulations,"  all  outfits  continued  physical  drill 
(except  some  of  the  batteries,  the  instructors  of  which,  because  pressed  for 
time  to  cover  the  work  required,  unfortunately  seemed  to  believe  that  calis- 
thenics might  well  be  omitted).  Semaphore  work,  to  a  certain  extent,  was 
likewise  carried  on,  and  the  art  of  tent-pitching  undertaken. 

All  other  training  taken  up  by  the  infantry,  artillery  and  cavalary  was 
of  marked  dissimilarity.      The  infantry  commenced  upon  work  with  the  rifle

and  also  continued  into  the  most  advanced  stages  of  drill.  Before  undertaking 
the  perfection  of  the  former,  however,  they  first,  with  the  assistance  of  the 
Ohio  engineers,  laid  out  and  constructed  trenches  and  fortifications  of  the  most 
modern  type,  patterned  to  conform  with  the  latest  advices  from  Europe.  It 
was  strenuous  w^ork  for  hands  and  backs,  but  the  finished  network  of  trenches 
— advance,  support,  reserve  and  communicating,  with  outposts  and  dugouts 
appropriately  placed,  w^as  a  notable  reward  for  all  the  trying  exertion. 

For  work  with  the  rifle,  the  infantry  went  north  to  the  range  and  there, 
not  only  fired,  but  practiced  the  estimating  of  distances  and  use  of  the  range- 
finder. 

Practical  w^ork  on  the  range  w^as  supplemented  by  the  study  of  "battle 
fire  training  '  and  "Rules  of  Land  Warfare.'  Lectures  by  the  instructors  on 
American  methods  of  warfare,  continuing  into  the  present  day  methods  of 
foreign  armies,  served  to  establish  a  comprehensive  understanding  of  the 
subject  in  the  mind  of  the  candidate. 

Special  machine  gun  instruction  was  given  by  Capt.  James  D.  Melville, 
of  the   First  Illinois  Infantry. 

There  w^as  additional  practical  training  in  road  and  field  w^ork.  One 
company,  representing  a  battalion,  regiment,  or  perhaps  merely  a  company, 
w^ould  go  out  to  oppose  another  company,  representing  an  equal  body  of  men. 
To  distinguish  one  side  from  the  other,  the  members  of  one  of  the  forces 
would  wear  white  handkerchiefs  around  their  hats  or  left  arms,  w^hile  the 
other  side  wore  no  distinguishing  mark.  Points,  Advance  Parties,  Supports, 
Reserves  and  Main  Bodies  would  be  properly  instructed,  and  after  one  side  had 
set  off  for  parts  unknow^n,  the  other  unit,  a  reasonable  length  of  time  having 
elapsed,  would  set  out  to  find  the  enemy  and  strive  to  effect  its  capture.  There 
w^as  much  exciting  scout  w^ork,  heated  clashes,  rifle  snappings,  and  battles 
strenuously  fought,  w^ith  victory  claimed  by  both  participating  sides. 

The  spectacular  culmination  of  the  battle  training  took  place  in  and 
opposing  the  labyrinth  of  trenches,  when  all  was  dark  and  those  not  fighting 
w^ere  endeavoring  to  study  and  slumber.  The  first  shot  w^as  fired  one  night  at 
about  nine.  A  sentry  in  a  forward  observation  post  had  seen  a  dim  figure  mov- 
ing in  a  mist  south  across  the  ravine.  He  fired.  The  shot  snapped  every  rifle- 
man to  attention.  Nerves,  formerly  quivering,  fairly  hummed.  Eyes  strained. 
An  indefinite  line  of  figures  rose  in   the  mist.      Five  rifles  cracked.      The  line 

abruptly   faded.      An   officer  in   the   trenches  whispered    a   command Swish! 

High  in  a  tall  tree  a  flare  burst  into  dazzling  light.  The  line  in  the  field,  for- 
merly indefinite,  loomed  as  an  extensive  force  of  prone  forms.  Behind  lay 
another.  The  first  was  200  yards  away.  The  attackers  hugged  the  ground  in 
agony  at  the  exposure  of  the  brightness.  The  light  quivered.  Up  sprang  the 
rear  line,  rushing  forward.  Trenches  crackled  w^ith  fire.  Down  sank  the 
moving  forms.  The  first  line,  now  behind,  sprang  up,  advancing.  A  new  flare 
in  another  tree  dazzled  field  and  sky.  Trench  rifles  volleyed.  The  new  for- 
ward attacking  line  flopped  to  the  ground  and  opened  up  with  rapid  flashes. 
Crouching  figures  ran   haltingly  back  and    forth   along  the   line.      Firing  from

both  sides  became  intense.  The  attacking  lines  drew  nearer.  They  were  in 
the  ravine.  In  the  wire!  Rifles  spoke  in  humming  roar.  They  were  past  the 
outposts!  In  the  first  line!  In  the — A  bugle  blew.  The  waxen  warfare 
ceased.  Grimy,  muddy  and  dusty  w^arriors  excitedly  grouped  together  and 
straggled  home.  One  hundred  verbal  volleys  throughout  the  night  failed  to 
decide  which  had  w^on  the  honors Reds  or  Blues. 

In  drill  the  infantry  continued  beyond  the  "School  of  the  Battalion" 
into  the  study  of  the  "Regiment."  They  also  went  on  with  vigorous  extended 
and  close  order  drill  to  perfect  and  enlarge  upon  the  preliminary  work  of  the 
first  month. 

Bayonet  work  w^as  an  important  branch  of  infantry  specialization  which 
was  brought  to  a  point  of  perfection  in  all  the  companies.  Some  candidates, 
who  had  seen  service  overseas,  assisted  in  this  w^ork  through  lectures  and  the 
personal  leading  of  drills.  The  finer  points  of  the  art  of  bayonet  fighting  were 
taught  on  the  field  north  of  the  trenches,  w^here  w^ire  entanglements  were 
placed  to  baffle,  and  brushwood  dummies  to  resist,  the  attacks  and  thrusts  of 
eager  destroyers. 

The  second  w^eek  of  July  found  in  Camp  a  man  destined  to  fill  the  infan- 
try w^ith  a  thorough  appreciation  of  "accuracy,  precision  and  smack."  Major 
Herman  J.  Koehler,  for  3 1  years  principal  physical  director  and  instructor 
of  military  gymnastics  at  West  Point,  had  arrived.  For  two  weeks  he  snapped 
various  companies  (and  one  or  tw^o  representatives  from  each  battery  and 
troop)  through  vigorous  physical  exercises  and  bayonet  drill.  His  remarks 
on  the  "Field  Physical  Training  of  the  Soldier",  as  voiced  in  a  syllabus  pre- 
pared for  the  War  Department,  were  exceedingly  valuable  and  to  the  point: 


THE  "REDS"  AGIN  THE  "'BLUES' 


210 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

1 .  Efficiency  of  Militsu-y  Establishments. — That  the  efficiency  of  a 
military  establishment  is  in  a  direct  ratio  to  the  physical  fitness  of  its  in- 
dividual units  has  never  before  been  demonstrated  so  forcibly  as  it  has 
been  during  the  present  war. 

The  demands  made  upon  those  engaged  in  this  conflict  are  so  far  in 
excess  of  what  w^as  thought  to  be  the  limit  of  human  endurance,  judged 
by  a  before-the-w^ar  standard,  that  it  is  almost  impossible  to  conjecture 
even  w^hat  that  limit  really  is. 

2.  Demand  of  Modern  Warfare. — While  modern  warfare  has  not 
hesitated  to  impress  almost  every  known  science  into  its  service  for  the 
purpose  of  overcoming  man,  the  trained  man  has  up  to  the  present  time 
demonstrated  his  ability  to  hold  his  ow^n  against  the  most  terrible  odds 
successfully;  and  in  the  end  it  w^ill  be  discovered  that  it  is  the  man,  the 
carefully  trained  and  conditioned  man,  who  alone  can  make  victory 
possible. 

3.  Necessity  for  Physical  Training. — With  these  facts  before  us  it 
follows  logically  that  the  physical  training  development,  and  conditioning 
of  those  recruited  for  military  service  must  be  the  first  and  most  impor- 
tant concern  of  a  nation  at  w^ar. 

4.  Objects  Sought  by  This  Course. — The  object,  therefore,  that  a 
course  in  physical  training  for  recruits  must  aim  to  attain,  is  the  develop- 
ment of  every  individual  physical  attributes  to  the  fullest  extent  of  their 
possibilities,  so  that  he  may  enter  upon  the  duties  his  profession  imposes 
w^ith  the  utmost  confidence  in  his  ability  to  discharge  them  successfully 
under  any  and  all  circumstances. 

5.  What  Course  Must  Embrace. — In  order  to  accomplish  this 
object  the  course  must  embrace  those  means  that  will  develop: 

(a)  General  health  and  organic  vigor. 

(b)  Muscular  and  nervous  strength,   endurance  and   fortitude. 

(c)  Self-reliance   and   confidence. 

(d)  Smartness,  activity,  alertness,  and  precision. 

6.  As  the  extent  of  the  development  of  all  the  physical  attributes 
is  determined  by  health  and  vigor,  these  must  be  considered  the  basis  of 
all  physical  training. 

7.  The  possession  of  robust  health  and  organic  vigor  is  not,  how- 
ever, sufficient  for  the  field  soldier;  his  profession  requires  that  he  also 
possess  more  than  the  average  amount  of  muscular  and  nervous  strength, 
endurance  and  fortitude,  against  which  he  may  draw  in  times  of  stress. 

8.  With  robust  health  and  organic  vigor  as  a  basis,  and  with  the 
know^ledge  that  he  possesses  an  unusual  amount  of  muscular  and  nervous 
strength,  he  must  be  taught  how^  to  preserve  the  former  and  how^  to  use 
the  latter  to  the  best  advantage.  By  learning  to  do  this  he  will  unwit- 
tingly develop  self-reliance  and  confidence,  which  are,  after  all,  physical 
qualities,  since  they  give  to  him  the  courage  to  dare  because  of  the  con- 
sciousness of  the  ability  to  do. 

9.  Smartness,  activity,  alertness,  and  precision  are  all  physical  ex- 
pressions of  mental  activity,  and  as  such  are  the  powers  that  guide  and 
control  the  physical  forces  to  the  best  advantage.  They  also  make  for 
personal  pride  and  self-respect  and  discipline,  the  voluntary,  intelligent, 
co-ordinated,  and  equal  subordination  of  every  individual  unit,  through 
v/hich  alone  the  objects  of  the  mass  can  be  achieved. 


212 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

What  Major  Koehler  said  to  a  member  of  the  "Reveille"  staff  concerning 
Fort  Sheridan  and  other  camps  is  also  worthy  of  note: 

"In  my  opinion,  the  camp  measures  up  to  all  the  others  I  have  visited 
in  every  respect,  and  the  material  found  at  all  the  training  camps  gives  us 
the  assurance  that  we  can  count  on  a  large  number  of  capable  and  con- 
scientious officers  w^ho  need  only  experience  to  qualify  them  for  the  seri- 
ous profession  for  which  they  are  training. 

"There  is  so  much  splendid  material  to  draw  from  that  it  must  be  a 
difficult  matter  for  the  authorities  to  determine,  not  whom  they  shall 
select,  but  whom  they  shall  drop.  It  has  been  my  experience  that,  in  the 
beginning,  there  were  a  number  of  men  who  were  of  the  opinion  that  the 
training  was  to  be  of  the  'fuss  and  feathers'  variety.  It  is  needless  to  say 
that  these  young  men  are  no  longer  to  be  found  in  any  of  the  camps." 

When  the  time  came  for  Major  Koehler  to  leave  Fort  Sheridan  and  pro- 
ceed to  some  other  officers'  training  camp,  further  west,  every  man,  however 
weary  as  a  result  of  the  Major's  astounding  driving  power,  w^as  loathe  to  see 
him  depart. 

The  influence  of  such  a  leader  w^as  to  have  a  great  effect  on  the  future 
armies  of  the  United  States.  All  his  time  could  not  be  devoted  to  one  group 
of  men.  He  must  press  on  to  make  every  moment  count — an  equal  period  for 
every  2000  men — and  by  August  1  5th  a  spirit  of  vigor  created  among  30,000 
that  would  help  to  make  of  the  coming  National  Army  a  fearless  multitude 
of  well-nigh  perfect  men  whose  work  towards  furthering  the  righteous  cause  at 
stake  could  not  help  but  be  tremendous. 

From  Major  Koehler  and  the  infantry — those  men  who,  with  20  out  of 
the  28  organizations  of  the  Camp,  comprised  far  more  than  half  of  the  attend- 
ing candidates let  us  turn  to  that  smaller  group  which  filled  but  six  of  the 

28 the  artillery.      The  artillerymen,  as  is  always  the  case  in  countries  of  un- 

preparedness,  commenced  training  under  a  serious  handicap.  For  three  weeks 
after  the  Camp  reorganization  their  work  was  greatly  retarded  because  of  lack 
of  proper  equipment.  They  went  ahead  with  those  subjects  which  were 
studied  alike  by  all  of  the  organizations,  and  they  had  for  study  copies  of 
"Drill  and  Service  Regulations  for  Field  Artillery  "  (at  least,  each  squad  had 
a  copy  and  some  individuals  who  owned  their  own),  but  guns  and  horses  were 
sadly  lacking.  There  were  but  four  3-inch  guns  with  caissons  and  limbers 
available  for  the  instruction  of  the  six  batteries  of  the  Camp.  They  were  the 
ones  which  belonged  to  Battery  "C"  of  the  First  Illinois  Field  Artillery  and 
fortunately  had  been  kept  at  the  Fort  since  the  mustering  out  of  that  organiza- 
tion the  preceding  Fall.  Instruction  in  nomenclature  and  use  went  on  in  spite 
of  the  handicap.  Each  training  battery,  during  these  three  weeks  of  gun 
famine,  had  one  hour  a  day  to  be  spent  in  the  presence  of  the  four  valuable 
pieces. 

During  the  first  week  Captain  Morley  of  the  Michigan-Wisconsin  camp 
and  Captain  Osborne  of  the  Illinois,  instructed  each  battery  of  their  respective 
regiments  at  the  guns.  They  talked  on  the  subject  of  artillery  in  general,  and 
of  different  types  of  American  field  guns  of  past  and  present  use.  They  ex- 
plained in  detail   the  American    3-inch   gun,   pointing  out   and   naming   every

visible  part.  Many  invisible  parts,  as  of  the  breech  block,  were  brought  to 
view  by  an  assistant  to  help  in  clarifying  the  explanation.  The  dismounting 
of  the  gun  was  explained  and  also  such  weird  sounding  terms  as  angle  of  site 
mil  and  corrector.  The  circle  of  eager  listeners  strained  eyes  and  ears  in  an 
effort  to  catch  every  word.  Queer  names  were  scrawled  in  notebooks.  At  the 
end  of  the  lecture  heads  whirled  like  a  rotating  band  blown  through  a  rifled 
tube. 

The  next  two  weeks  each  instructor  w^ent  with  his  own  battery  at  the 
allotted  hour  and,  w^ith  the  assistance  of  a  few  men  of  previous  experience, 
continued  in  familiarizing  the  men  with  the  nomenclature  of  all  parts  of  the 
materiel — pieces,  caissons  and  limbers — and  took  up  preliminary  work  in 
gun  drill. 

The  arrival  of  the  entire  First  Illinois  Field  Artillery  with  more  3-inch 
guns,  relieved  the  situation  tremendously.  There  was  then  equipment  enough 
so  that  each  of  the  four  platoons  of  a  battery  could  have  separate  periods  at 
the  guns  every  day.  Cannoneer  drill  was  practiced,  then  drill  of  the  gun 
squad.  The  work  culminated  in  the  training  of  entire  firing  batteries,  com- 
mands being  given  by  executives  and  data  set  off  and  carried  into  effect  at 
the  guns. 

An  hour  and  a  half  a  day  w^as  spent  in  lectures  and  conferences  on  the 
"Drill  Regulations."  Special  attention  was  paid  to  Volume  III,  which  was 
devoted  to  instruction  in  firing.  The  objects  of  this  instruction  as  given  in  the 
"Regulations"  are: 

1.  To  train  the  personnel  in  the  mechanism  of  the  methods  of  fire 
so  that,  at  the  word  of  command,  fire  of  the  desired  nature  may  be  de- 
livered with  certainty  and  celerity.      (Fire  discipline.)

LIMBERING  UP  STUNTS 


2.      To  train  officers  and  their  assistants  so  that  they  may  utilize  the 
weapons  at  their  disposal  to  the  best  advantage.      (Conduct  of  fire.) 

Problems  involving  the  use  of  the  parallax  and  parallel  methods  of  com- 
puting fire  data  and  formulas  for  figuring  the  site  and  crest  problems  gave 
many  men  a  preliminary  taste  of  the  intricacies  of  the  work  ahead.  To  the 
man  with  a  limited  training  in  mathematics  the  subject  seemed  almost  impos- 
sible. To  many  others  more  highly  schooled  it  seemed  the  same.  But  it  would 
take  more  than  seeming  impossibility  to  down  the  spirits  of  these  eager  can- 
didates. By  diligent  study  and  working  together — those  of  some  experience 
helping  those  w^ho  were  new — all  strove  and  hoped  to  finish  the  course  with 
success. 

Practice  in  semaphore  was  given  up  for  work  with  the  "buzzer."  In- 
structors asked  for  any  men  who  had  a  knowledge  of  wireless  or  the  "Morse 
code"  to  volunteer  their  services  in  helping  to  teach  the  other  men  the  use 
of  these  strange  little  instruments.  From  six  to  eight  of  the  volunteers  from 
each  battery  were  chosen  to  teach  sections  of  their  respective  batteries.  Each 
section  was  "issued"  a  "buzzer."  The  instructor  first  showed  the  proper 
method  of  holding  the  key  and  then  explained  and  gave  out  the  mysterious 
Morse  alphabet  of  dashes  and  dots.  "Operators"  for  the  most  part  caught  on 
quickly  and  by  the  end  of  the  period  of  training  were  able  to  send  and  receive 
at  the  rate  of  eight  to  ten  words  a  minute. 

Automatic  pistols  were  issued  to  the  batteries  and  work  commenced  at 
once  in  learning  the  nomenclature  of  the  parts  and  the  method  of  strip- 
ping and  assembling  the  weapon.  Then  came  aiming  drill  or  "making  tri- 
angles", which  was  conducted  with  a  pistol  in  the  same  manner  as  with  a  rifle. 


216 


THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 


Each  squad  had  a  chest  high  tripod  which  supported  a  bag  of  sand.  A  pistol 
pointing  toward  a  barrack  w^all  w^as  firmly  set  in  the  sandbag,  the  tripod  being 
fifteen  to  twenty  feet  away  from  the  wall.  A  man  with  a  little  black  cardboard 
bulls  eye  (about  an  inch  in  diameter)  fastened  to  a  stick  w^ould  stand  close 
to  the  wall  and  hold  the  bull  s  eye  over  a  sheet  of  paper  somewhere  in  the 
vicinity  of  the  range  of  vision  of  another  man  who  glanced  along  the  sights  of 
the  pistol.  At  the  verbal  command  or  hand  signal  of  the  man  aiming,  the  man 
by  the  wall  w^ould  move  the  bull's  eye  up  or  down,  right  or  left,  until  the  aimer 
called  "stop !  '  He  w^ould  then,  through  a  pinhole  in  the  center  of  the  bull's 
eye,  mark  a  little  dot  on  the  paper  with  a  sharp  pointed  pencil.  The  man  at 
the  pistol  would  aim  three  times.  Seldom  did  one  dot  coincide  w^ith  another. 
But  they  were  not  meant  to.  The  object  was  to  get  three  dots  very  close  to- 
gether and  equidistant,  so  that  w^hen  lines  were  drawn  connecting  the  points, 
the  result  w^ould  be  a  minute  equilateral  triangle.  A  man  w^ho  could  accom- 
plish that,  proved  himself  a  skillful  aimer. 

After  demolishing  the  barracks  with  triangular  broadsides  the  marksmen 
ventured  onto  the  range  and  there  were  shown  how  to  hold  the  weapon  and 
the  proper  posture  to  take  in  firing.  Six  to  eight  targets  were  used,  behind  and 
beneath  which  men  w^ere  stationed  to  point  out  with  long  markers  the  spot 
where  a  bullet  hit,  and  then  to  lower  the  target  and  paste  over  the  holes  so  as 
to  be  able  to  distinguish  the  perforations  of  the  succeeding  marksmen.  These 
men  who  fired  stood  in  single  file  facing  the  target,  a  line  of  equal  length  for 
each  target.  Men  who  had  fired  helped  load  clips  for  those  who  had  not. 
Each  man  fired  once  at  fifteen  yards  and  again  at  twenty-five,  five  shots  each 
time.     After  that  firing  w^as  continued  at  tw^enty-five  yards  by  men  in  turn  until 


THE  ARTILLERY  WAS  THERE 


THE     FIRST     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 


217 


"STEADY,  BOYS!" 


the  period  ended.  To  those  who  had  not  fired  before,  at  least  with  an  auto- 
matic, the  sensation  was  strange,  and  a  good  many  shots  ploughed  the  ground. 
Some  of  the  men  made  very  high  scores.  It  was  most  unfortunate  that  each 
battery  had  an  opportunity  to  fire  on  the  range  but  once. 

For  training  with  horses  as  well  as  with  guns,  the  Fort  artillerymen  were 
indebted  to  the  1 49th  Field  Artillery.  Each  of  the  six  training  batteries 
were  assigned  the  horses  and  harness  of  one  of  the  batteries  of  that  regiment 
for  training  purposes.  The  men  first  learned  how  to  feed  and  care  for  a  horse 
and  how  to  groom  him.  They  studied  his  terminology  and  learned  through 
lectures  his  common  diseases  and  the  proper  treatment  for  them.  Instruction 
was  next  given  on  the  care  and  cleaning  of  harness,  then  in  saddling.  Equita- 
tion followed,  and  the  struggle  to  create  horsemen  out  of  every  man,  no 
matter  how  awkward  his  initial  attempt  on  the  back  of  a  four-footed  equine 
might  be.  Round  and  round  the  corrals  lines  of  horses  would  go,  first  at  a 
walk,  then  at  a  trot;  instructors  and  candidate  assistants  constantly  calling 
attention  to  fallacies  of  reins,  arms,  legs  or  heels,  with  a  frequent  plea  for  day- 
light saving  between  the  horse  and  knees.  Equitation  progressed  until  some  of 
the  common  figures  of  cavalry  drill  were  ably  performed,  the  majority  of 
riders  feeling  a  great  deal  of  confidence  in  the  saddle.  Following  instruction 
in  individual  riding  came  harnessing  and  the  driving  of  teams.  This  was  fa- 
miliar work  to  the  old  "Bordermen"  and  their  experience  was  a  great  factor 
in  helping  out  the  others.  Platoon  drill,  mounted,  was  carried  out,  but  drill 
by  battery  was  for  some  reason  not  attempted. 

In  order  that  the  men  might  gain  a  slight  idea  of  conditions  on  the  march 
and  in  the  field,  each  battery,  with  horses,  materiel,  packs  and  rations,  set  off, 


THE     FIRST     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 219 

in  battery  column,  mounted,  bound  for  a  location  chosen  by  the  instructor, 
suitable  for  a  night  encampment.  When  such  a  spot  was  reached,  the  car- 
riages having  been  formed  properly  in  line,  drivers  and  cannoneers  would 
dismount,  the  drivers  proceeding  to  unhitch,  lead  or  ride  their  pairs  to  w^ater 
and  back  to  the  picket  lines,  w^hile  cannoneers  stretched  picket  lines  between 
the  w^heels  of  the  carriages  and  prepared  to  camp  for  the  night.  When  the 
drivers  had  securely  tied  their  horses,  they  joined  w^ith  the  cannoneers  in  un- 
making their  packs  and  pitching  shelter  tents  at  the  regulation  distance  of  not 
closer  than  ten  yards  "in  rear  of  the  rear  line  of  carriages."  A  formation  was 
then  held  followed  by  supper,  individually  cooked,  consisting  of  bacon,  pota- 
toes, onions,  bread  and  coffee.  Many  of  the  chefs  were  neophytes,  but  suc- 
cesses far  exceeded  failures.  At  least  no  one  w^ent  to  bed  hungry.  After  mess- 
kits  had  been  cleaned,  there  was  a  little  time  for  recreation  and  then  bed,  if 
hard  ground  could  be  called  such,  at  nine  o'clock.  After  a  5:30  reveille, 
breakfast  similar  to  supper  was  prepared,  tents  struck,  packs  rolled  and  horses 
groomed.  Grounds  were  "policed",  horses  hitched,  packs  tied  on  carriages 
and  animals,  and,  after  drivers  and  cannoneers  had  mounted,  the  battery 
rumbled  back  to  Camp  somew^hat  wiser  and  aching  in  many  joints. 

To  train  candidates  in  the  conduct  of  fire,  the  blackboard  method  w^as 
first  used.  A  target  of  four  sections,  representing  an  enemy  battery,  w^as 
sketched  upon  the  board  and  in  and  about  these  enemy  guns  the  instructor 
would  indicate  w^ith  chalk,  points  where  a  candidate's  shots  had  hit  or  burst. 
Proper  initial  commands  had  to  be  given  before  the  first  salvo  was  fired,  and 
each  succeeding  salvo  or  volley  was  registered  only  after  new  commands,  mak- 
ing supposedly  proper  corrections,  had  been  given.  Whether  the  adjustments 
ordered  had  been  correct  or  not  w^as  indicated  on  the  board  with  a  new^  set 
of  chalk  "bursts.  "  By  this  scheme  of  instruction  candidates  learned  to  prop- 
erly sense  bursts,  to  control  direction,  distribution,  height  of  burst  and  range, 
in  fire  for  adjustment;  and  to  pass  at  the  right  moment  into  the  proper  method 
of  fire  for  effect. 

Other  devices  used  to  facilitate  training  in  the  principles  of  fire  w^ere 
miniature  targets  placed  on  the  ground,  the  instructor  using  a  long  stick  with 
a  round  disc  on  the  end  to  designate  the  kind  and  location  of  bursts;  and  min- 
iature painted  "ranges",  called  "terrain  boards.  "  Lack  of  materials,  time  and 
room  made  it  impossible  to  carry  on  smoke-bomb  or  sub-calibre  practice,  each 
of  which  w^ould  have  helped  still  more  to  clarify  and  give  practice  in  this  dif- 
ficult a>-t  of  fire  control.  Opportunity  to  use  these  methods  and  actual  fire 
v/ere  to  be  enjoyed  after  August    1  5th. 

While  the  infantry  dug  trenches,  west  of  the  main  north  and  south  road, 
the  artillery  dug  model  gun  emplacements  on  the  eastern  side.  That  was  one 
form  of  blister-raising  amusement  not  enjoyed  by  the  cavalry. 

The  majority  of  the  work  covered  by  the  two  cavalry  troops  of  the  Camp 
was  similar  to  that  of  the  artillery  with  the  exception  that  additional  study 
of  horses  and  mounted  drill  took  the  place  of  the  firing  instruction  on  the  ar- 
tillery schedule.     They  mastered  the  cavalry  drill  regulations,  studied  in  detail 


220 


THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 


the  anatomy  of  the  horse  and  his  diseases — common  and  uncommon — and 
rode  and  drilled  mounted  with  and  without  saddles,  until  by  fours  they  per- 
formed with  remarkable  finish  and  skill.  It  was  not  until  the  Camp  was  nearly 
over  that  a  rumor  spread  about  that  the  cavalry  troops  of  the  training  camps 
would  in  all  probability  not  be  used  to  officer  new  squadrons  to  be  sent  abroad. 
The  true  news  came  too  late  to  permit  of  any  revision  in  the  cavalry  training 
schedule.  It  was  a  blow  that  struck  disappointment  in  the  heart  of  many 
whose  love  of  horses  had  led  them  into  that  branch  of  the  service.  But  the 
cavalrymen  willingly  were  equal  to  any  emergency,  as  was  later  so  well  indi- 
cated by  the  type  of  machine  gun  companies  which  they  whipped  into  shape  at 
Camps  Custer  and  Grant. 

A  time  of  dire  dread  to  every  man  in  Camp  was  Saturday  morning,  after 
inspection.  Hour  tests  were  given,  covering  the  work  of  the  week.  Marks 
made  on  these  would  be  sure  to  affect  a  man's  chances  of  surviving  all  cuts. 
The  papers  in  some  organizations,  marked  by  men  chosen  by  the  instructor  for 
the  purpose,  were  given  back  the  following  week,  and  brought  joy  and  sorrow 
in  varying  degrees  to  the  recipients. 

True  enough,  there  were  cuts  made.  Some  came  at  the  time  of  reorgani- 
zation, some  one  month  later  and,  after  that  a  few  men  were  dropped  from 
each  organization  every  week.  These  were  serious  times  of  thought  and  worry 
to  both  candidates  and  instructors. 


ON  AND  OFF  AGAIN 


THE     FIRST     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 221 

A  great  opportunity  which  was  offered,  especially  to  the  younger  men, 
was  the  chance  to  make  application  for  admittance  to  aviation  officers  train- 
ing schools.  The  number  allowed  to  apply  was  not  limited.  The  response 
was  quite  large  and  many  passed  the  required  physical  tests.  Some  were  sent 
to  Canada  and  some  to  camps  in  this  country,  principally  the  University  of 
Illinois  Ground  School,   for  training. 

Opportunities  were  also  offered  and  accepted  to  become  administrative 
and  truck  train  officers  in  the  quartermasters'  corps  and  to  become  officers  in 
the  ordnance  department. 

It  may  be  imagined  that  in  the  intensity  of  training,  the  problems  afford- 
ing military  enlightenment  were  assailed  with  the  primary  purpose  of  finding 
a  solution — all  thought  of  a  definite  enemy  being  out  of  mind.  To  a  certain 
extent  this  was  true.  Surely  Germans  were  not  continually  talked  about,  nor 
w^as  the  righteousness  of  the  cause  of  the  Allies;  but  nevertheless  these  two 
subjects  lay  in  the  near  background  of  every  man's  mind,  and  events  w^ere  fre- 
quently happening  w^hich  would  bring  these  latent  feelings  to  the  fore. 

Early  in  June  the  First  Liberty  Loan  was  launched  throughout  the  United 
States.  Did  this  drive  omit  the  Training  Camps,  feeling  perhaps  that  the  men 
there  were  doing  enough  without  calling  upon  them  to  subscribe?  Not  a  bit  of 
it.  The  men  w^ould  have  deeply  resented  having  the  opportunity  of  helping  to 
the  utmost  taken  aw^ay  from  them.  The  drives  included  the  camps,  and, 
even  though  some  men  w^ere  having  difficulty  in  meeting  obligations  on  the  pay 
received,  nevertheless  the  response  of  the  candidates  w^as  generous.  An  ac- 
count in  the  "Reveille"  reads: 

If  the  Emperor  of  Germany  has  allowed  himself  to  look  at  the  re- 
turns from  Liberty  Bond  subscriptions  in  the  United  States  he  has  seen 
where  the  student  officers  at  Fort  Sheridan,  Illinois,  have  given  more  than 
$107,000  to  their  government  to  aid  in  financing  the  American  end  of  the 
world  war.  If  he  has  permitted  himself  to  ponder  on  the  significance  of 
this  offer  of  both  life  and  money  on  the  altar  of  freedom  he  has  done  so 
w^ith  a  catch  in  his  murderous  throat. 

Men  in  the  Reserve  Officers'  Training  Camp  are  not  minimizing  in 
the  least  the  difficulties  of  the  task  ahead  in  clearing  the  road  to  democ- 
racy in  Europe,  but  they  are  going  to  do  their  part  in  clearing  the  road. 
This  grim  determination  to  make  the  w^orld  safe  for  peace-loving  people 
ever  after  is  shown  by  the  spirit  of  loyalty  back  of  the  Liberty  Bond  sub- 
scriptions. 

The  kaiser  can  well  exclaim,  "Mein  Gott,  those  Americans  mean 
business!  "  for  they  mean  nothing  else,  and  they  are  going  to  do  business 
under  the  folds  of  Old  Glory  until  the  last  "divine  right  "  blasphemer  is 
driven  from  power. 

News  Bulletins  on  the  Liberty  Loan  in  America  furnish  the  hand 
writing  on  the  wall  for  the  bloodiest  hand  of  swashbucklers  the  world  has 
yet  seen,  and  the  returns  at  R.  O.  T.  C.  stand  out  among  all  the  rest. 
Having  given  their  money  as  the  least  they  can  do,  they  are  preparing  to 
add  their  lives  to  their  subscriptions  as  the  most  they  can  do.  If  more 
can  be  done  it  w^ill  be  done.

A  DAILY  EXERCISE 

Boche  propaganda  which  had  fooled  the  people  of  this  nation  for  several 
years,  did  not  cease  with  the  declaration  of  war  on  April  6th.  True,  at  the 
Training  Camps  it  did  not  descend  to  the  cowardly  depths  reached  at  Camp 
Grant,  and  some  other  cantonments,  where  hungry  men  in  the  mess  halls 
crunched,  unwarned,  on  breakfast  food  flavored  with  ground  glass;  nor  was 
there  opportunity  to  mangle  innocent  men  by  creating  defective  airplane  parts. 
The  gentle  method  adopted  w^as  the  spreading  of  rumors  w^ith  the  intention  of 
belittling  the  strength  of  the  Allies  and  enlarging  on  the  prowess  of  the  Hun; 
thus  creating  a  sense  of  fear  among  the  candidates.  Needless  to  say,  even  had 
the  rumors  been  true,  the  men  were  not  of  a  type,  and  no  true  American  is, 
to  be  thus  easily  intimidated.  One  rumor  told  of  the  tremendous  mortality 
of  Allied  officers.  Some  parents,  perhaps,  w^ere  affected  by  such  rumors.  It 
was  for  them,  no  doubt,  that  the  following  statement  by  Roger  Babson,  the 
eminent  statistician,   appeared  in  the  papers  during  July: 

Fourteen  men  out  of  every  fifteen  have  been  safe  so  far.  Under 
present  conditions,  where  man  power  is  being  saved,  not  more  than  one 
in  thirty  is  killed. 

Only  one  man  in  five  hundred  loses  a  limb — a  chance  no  greater 
than  in  hazardous  conditions  at  home. 

Most  of  the  wounds  sustained  in  the  trenches  are  clean  cut  and  of 
a  nature  that  a  few  weeks  in  the  hospital  makes  the  subject  as  as  fit  as 
ever.  But  300,000  French  soldiers  have  been  discharged  on  account  of 
wounds  during  the  three  years  of  the  w^ar. 

From  fighting  in  the  trenches  most  of  the  wounds  are  in  the  top  of 
the  head,  simply  scalp  wounds.  Practically  speaking,  a  wound  is  either 
fatal  or  slight,  w^ith  few^  in  betw^een  these  tw^o  extremes. 

Of  course,  the  w^hole  thing  is  horrible  enough  as  it  is.  But  I  wish  to 
tell  the  fathers  and  mothers  left  behind  by  the  boys  that,  looking  at  the 
matter  in  the  light  of  cold-blooded  statistics,  these  boys  are  not  going 
into  anywhere  near  the  danger  the  folks  at  home  imagine.

It  is  not  the  custom  of  Americans  to  adopt  a  hymn  of  hate  and  become 
depraved  in  the  chanting  of  it.  But  to  refrain  from  truth,  the  proclaiming  of 
which  would  help  to  enhance  righteous  indignation,  already  kindled,  w^ould 
be  an  act  of  omission  difficult  to  pardon.  There  -were  many  men  of  our  gov- 
ernment working  to  bring  to  the  eye  of  the  public  the  truth  about  conditions 
as  they  were  known  to  exist.  Prominent  among  these  was  Secretary  of  State 
Robert  Lansing.  In  a  speech  to  the  student  officers  at  Madison  Barracks 
he  said : 

The  evil  character  of  the  German  government  is  laid  bare  before 
the  world.  We  know  that  that  government  is  inspired  with  ambitions 
w^hich  menace  human  liberty,  and  that  to  gains  its  end  does  not  hesitate 
to  break  faith  or  to  perpetrate  interminable  acts  of  humanity. 

It  needed  but  the  words  reported  to  have  been  uttered  by  the  Ger- 
man chancellor  to  complete  the  picture  of  the  character  of  his  govern- 
ment when  he  announced  that  the  only  reason  why  the  intensified  sub- 
marine campaign  was  delayed  until  February  last  was  that  sufficient 
submarines  could  not  be  built  before  that  time  to  make  the  attacks  on 
commerce  efficient. 

Do  you  realize  that  this  means  that  the  promises  to  refrain  from 
brutal  submarine  warfare  which  Germany  had  made  to  the  United  States 
were  never  intended  to  be  kept,  that  they  w^ere  only  made  in  order  to 
gain  time  to  build  more  submarines  and  that  w^hen  the  time  came  to  act 
German  promises  were  unhesitatingly  torn  to  pieces  like  other  "scraps 
of  paper"  ? 

Let  us  understand  once  for  all  that  this  is  no  war  to  establish  an 
abstract  principle  of  right.  It  is  a  war  in  which  the  future  of  the  United 
States  is  at  stake. 

Imagine  Germany  victorious  in  Europe  because  the  United  States 
remained  neutral.  Who,  then,  think  you  would  be  the  next  victim  of 
those  who  are  seeking  to  be  masters  of  the  whole  earth?  Would  not  this 
country  with  its  enormous  wealth  arouse  the  cupidity  of  an  impoverished 
though  triumphant  Germany? 

Would  not  this  democracy  be  the  only  obstacle  between  the  auto- 
cratic rulers  of  Germany  and  their  supreme  ambition?  Do  you  think  they 
would  withhold  their  hand  from  so  rich  a  prize? 

Primarily  then  every  man  who  crosses  the  ocean  to  fight  on  foreign 
soil  against  the  armies  of  the  German  emperor  goes  forth  to  fight  for  his 
country  and  the  preservation  of  those  things  for  which  our  forefathers 
were  willing  to  die. 

To  those  who  thus  offer  themselves  we  owe  the  same  debt  that  we 
do  to  those  men  who  in  the  past  fought  on  American  soil  in  the  cause  of 
liberty.      No,  not  the  same  debt,  but  a  greater  one. 

It  calls  for  more  patriotism,  more  self-denial,  and  a  truer  vision  to 
w^age  war  on  distant  shores  than  to  repel  an  invader  or  defend  one's 
home.  I,  therefore,  congratulate  you  young  men  in  your  choice  of  ser- 
vice.     You  have  done  a  splendid  thing. 

You  have  earned  already  the  gratitude  of  your  countrymen  and 
of  generations  of  Americans  to  come. 

Your  battle  flags  will  become  the  cherished  trophies  of  a  nation 
w^hich  will  never  forget  those  who  bore  them  in  the  cause  of  liberty. 


THE     FIRST     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP

ATTACK  AND  DEFENSE 


Were  every  people  on  earth  able  to  express  their  will  there  would 
be  no  wars  of  aggression,  and  if  there  were  no  wars  of  aggression  there 
would  be  no  wars,  and  lasting  peace  would  come  to  this  earth.  The  only 
way  that  a  people  can  express  their  will  is  through  democratic  institutions. 
Therefore,  when  the  world  is  made  safe  for  democracy,  when  that  great 
principle  prevails,  universal  peace  will  be  an  accomplished  fact. 

No  nation  of  people  will  be  fit  more  than  the  United  States  when 
that  time  comes.      But  it  has  not  yet  come. 

Gala  occasions  at  Fort  Sheridan  were  few  and  far  between.  There  was 
little  time  for  "fuss  and  feathers"  during  the  few  precious  weeks  of  prepara- 
tion. Two  parades  were  indulged  in,  however — one  on  July  4th  when  the 
members  of  both  regiments  tramped  to  Lake  Forest  and  back;  and  the  other 
on  Saturday,  August  5  th,  when  both  regiments  entrained  for  Chicago  to  par- 
ticipate in  the  great  National  Army  parade. 

The  committee  in  charge  of  this  parade  consisted  of:  John  T.  Stockton, 
chairman;  Angus  S.  Hibbard,  secretary;  Howard  Elting,  Charles  Hopper,  E. 
U.  Kimbark,  H.  H.  Merrick,  Victor  Olander,  Paul  Steinbrecher,  Charles  H. 
Wacker,  Thomas  E.  Wilson,  Kay  Wood,  John  W.  OLeary,  ex-officio. 

The  finance  committee  which  provided  for  the  necessary  expenses  of  the 
event — transportation,  grand  stand,  flags,  invitations — consisted  of  John  A. 
Spoor,  chairman;  Samuel  Insull,  E.  D.  Hulbert,  B.  E.  Sunny  and  Frank  O. 
Wetmore,   treasurer. 


226 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

The  idea  of  the  parade  had  strongly  appealed  to  citizens  of  foreign  birth, 
so  that  Polish,  Servian  and  other  societies  were  active  in  organizing  marchers 
and  in  arranging  for  the  representation  of  their  citizens  along  the  parade 
route. 

The  National  Army  Day  Committee,  with  the  co-operation  of  the  mem- 
bers of  the  exemption  boards  for  the  registration  divisions  of  the  city,  dis- 
tributed 10,000  posters  prepared  to  command  the  attention  of  the  registered 
men,  and  mailed  directly  to  those  in  the  first  quota  to  be  called,  50,000  invi- 
tations. 

The  officers  of  the  parade  w^ere:  Grand  Marshal,  Colonel  W.  J.  Nichol- 
son; Assistant  to  Grand  Marshal,  Major  Raymond  Sheldon;  Chief  of  Staff, 
Captain  E.  R.  W.  McCabe;  Aids,  Captain  Benson,  Captain  Wharton  Clay, 
executive   secretary    Military   Training  Camps   Association. 

After  the  event,  seven  trains  carried  the  members  of  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  to 
the  Stock  Yards,  where  luncheon  was  served  to  all  troops  and  where,  in  the 
pavilion,  the  men  were  received  and  addressed  by  members  of  the  Russian 
commission  and  others. 

The  "Reveille"  of  Friday  follow^ing  the  parade  gives  an  interesting 
description : 

Student  officers  at  R.  O.  T.  C.  still  feel  the  thrill  of  Chicago's  wel- 
come to  the  new  National  Army  and  its  leaders. 

Crowds  that  made  the  loop  district  a  seething  mass  of  humanity 
gathered  to  honor  the  men  who  w^ill  fight  for  liberty  on  the  battlefields 
of  France  w^ill  long  be  remembered  by  the  men  at  Fort  Sheridan. 

The  fighting  men  were  on  parade.  With  seven  bands  playing  the 
soulful  battle  hymns  of  all  the  allied  nations,  soldiers,  sailors  and  poten- 
tial fighters  passed  before  tens  of  thousands  of  spectators  w^ho  w^ere  there 
to  pay  them  worship. 

It  w^as  National  Army  day,  and  the  men  who  have  or  will  be  called 
to  the  colors  w^ere  the  guests  of  honor.  Thousands  of  men  w^ho  w^ill  serve 
in  the  new^  army  w^ere  in  line.  Every  one  of  them  carried  an  American 
flag.  A  more  stirring  spectacle  hardly  could  be  imagined.  They  looked 
like  a  giant  wave  of  red,  white  and  blue  to  a  spectator  from  a  skyscraper 
w^indow^. 

Representatives  of  every  military  establishment  in  Chicago  and 
Cook  County  took  part  in  the  parade.  Four  thousand  members  of  the 
Reserve  Officers'  Training  Camp  at  Fort  Sheridan,  6,000  National 
Guardsmen,  the  jackies  with  their  great  band  and  the  National  Army 
men,  with  policemen  and  firemen,  composed  the  make-up.  The  guards- 
men lined  the  sides  of  the  streets  until  the  registered  men  had  passed, 
then  fell  in  and  covered  the  complete  line  of  march. 

Twenty-two  thousand  seven  hundred  soldiers,  sailors  and  civilians 
marched  in  the  parade.  It  took  one  hour  and  twenty-five  minutes  for 
the  parade  to  pass  the  reviewing  stand,  and  three-quarters  of  an  hour 
for  the  National  Army  men  alone. 

The  marchers  stood  as  follows  in  numerical  strength:  National 
Army  men,  10,000;  student  officers,  4,100;  National  Guardsmen,  6,000; 
aliens  and  foreign-born  citizens,  2,000;  policemen,  300;  firemen,   300. 


228 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

The  parade  started  practically  on  the  minute.  Ten  o  clock  was  the 
scheduled  time,  and  exactly  at  10:10  the  troops  from  Fort  Sheridan 
swung  out  of  Grant  Park  at  Van  Buren  street  and  entered  Michigan 
avenue  to  march   north  until  reaching  Randolph   street. 

A  mighty  cheer  w^ent  up  as  the  khaki-clad  student  officers  started 
up  the  avenue.  There  w^as  a  ripple  of  flags  on  the  side-lines  as  far  as 
one  could  see.  The  cheers  had  the  effect  of  a  tonic  on  the  men.  Heads 
up,  chests  out,  they  marched  in  perfect  unison. 

The  troops  approached  the  reviewing  stand  at  the  Art  Institute. 
Everywhere  there  was  shouting  and  flag  waving.  At  times  the  music  of 
the  bands  could  hardly  be  heard.      Hats  came  off  in  salute  to  the  colors. 

Colors  of  America  and  her  allies  w^ere  everyw^here.  On  the  front 
of  the  Art  Institute  the  American  and  Russian  flags  w^ere  entw^ined. 
Everywhere  else  the  flags  of  all  nations  fighting  for  liberty  were  displayed. 
Nearly  every  spectator  carried  a  flag  or  w^ore  the  colors. 

In  the  reviewing  stand  stood  Maj.-Gen.  Thomas  H.  Barry,  com- 
manding the  Central  Department,  U.  S.  A.,  members  of  the  Russian  com- 
mission, representatives  of  the  civic  organizations  that  organized  the  big 
demonstration,   and  relatives  of  the  "258's.  ' 

After  an  escort  of  motorcycle  and  mounted  police  had  passsed,  the 
student  officers,  led  by  Col.  W.  J.  Nicholson,  their  commander,  who  was 
grand  marshal  as  w^ell,  came  even  with  the  review^ing  stand  the  cheering 
grew  deafening.  General  Barry  w^atched  the  troops  go  sw^inging  by.  His 
face  lighted  and  he  clapped  his  hands. 

"Wonderful,  wonderful,  and  in  three  months,   too,"   he  said. 

Four  thousand  one  hundred  of  the  student  officers  passed  the  stand. 

"What  a  w^onderful  performance  for  only  three  months  of  training!" 
exclaimed  General  Barry,  his  face  wreathed  in  smiles  of  satisfaction,  as 
he  turned  to  the  head  of  the  Russian  mission.  Ambassador  Boris  H. 
Bakhmetieff. 

"That  shows,"  he  added,  clapping  his  hands  vigorously,  "what 
Americans  can  do  w^hen  the  heart  is  right." 

And  the  eminent  Russian,  his  gaze  riveted  upon  the  marchers,  their 
heads  erect,  their  steps  in  splendid  unison,  could  not  restrain  his 
enthusiasm. 

"It  is  the  finest  body  of  men  I  ever  saw!"  he  said.  "The  men  are 
remarkably  drilled.       It   is  an   inspiring  sight!" 

Ambassador  Bakhmetieff  of  the  Russian  mission  gave  vent  to  his 
feelings  with  applause,  then  turned  to  say: 

"What  an  inspiring  sight.  Such  a  demonstration  as  this  gives  me 
further  confidence  for  the  world-wide  success  of  democracy  " 

Meanwhile,  the  Great  Lakes  Naval  Training  Station  band,  divided 
into  two  sections,  played  continuously  the  war  hymns  of  America  and 
her  allies. 

Then  came  detachments  of  policemen  and  firemen.  There  was  a 
separate  detachment  of  the  men  in  the  two  services  who  are  subject  to 
service  in  the  National  Army.  The  crowds  applauded  them,  too.  First 
Deputy  Chief  Westbrook  and  Capt.  John  B.  Alcock  led  the  policemen, 
and  Battalion  Chiefs  Edward  F.  McGurn  and  Michael  Corrigan  led  the 
firemen. 

Suddenly  the  cheering  became  earsplitting.  The  noise  became  one 
great  roar.      The  National  Army  men  were  coming! 


THE     FIRST     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP  229 

The  "258's"  were  first.  Leading  them  were  four  men,  a  w^hite 
American,  a  black  American,  a  Russian  and  a  Chinese,  representative  of 
the  cosmopolitan  throng  that  was  to  follow^. 

The  National  Army  men,  marching  in  regiments  and  under  their  own 
district  banners,  formed  a  long  line.  According  to  the  estimate  of  the 
official  recorder  in  the  stand,   there  were    10,000  civilians  in  line. 

Every  one  of  the  10,000  saluted  with  his  flag  as  he  came  even  with 
the  reviewing  stand.  General  Barry  and  the  crowd  on  the  stand  returned 
it  with  smiles  and  applause.  Women  jumped  on  chairs  and  waved  flags. 
Pandemonium  reigned  until  the  last  man  had  passed.  Never  was  there 
such  a  demonstration  of  favor  in  the  city's  history,  in  the  belief  of  many 
observers. 

Follow^ing  the  National  Army  men  came  a  tank  with  a  banner  on  its 
sides,  containing  just  one  word:      "Enlist.  " 

Then  6,000  Chicago  members  of  the  Illinois  National  Guard  fell  in, 
preceded  by  the  Naval  Training  Station  band.  At  this  time  14,700  men 
had  marched  past  the  reviewing  stand. 

Three  regiments  of  guardsmen  were  in  line — the  Second,  Seventh 
and  Eighth  Infantry. 

Following  the  guardsmen  came  2,000  or  more  aliens  and  foreign- 
born  citizens  above  the  age  limit  for  the  National  Army.  They  were 
there  because  they  wished  the  people  to  know  that  the  foreign  born  are 
w^ith  the  United  States  in  her  hour  of  need. 

Every  flag  of  America's  allies  was  carried  in  the  ranks  of  the  aliens. 
Boy  Scouts  carried  banners  designating  the  nationalities  of  the  men  they 
preceded. 

Cheers  greeted  the  foreign  born,  as  they  had  the  student  officers,  the 
policemen  and  firemen,  the  jackies  and  the  National  Guardsmen.  There 
w^as  not  a  break  in  the  ranks  of  the  spectators  until  the  last  man  had 
passed. 

Arrangements  for  the  parade,  well  perfected  beforehand,  were  car- 
ried out  without  a  hitch.  Although  the  crush  of  spectators  was  great,  the 
police  had  control  over  the  crow^d  at  all  times. 

Committees  in  charge  of  the  parade  expressed  great  satisfaction  at 
the  demonstration.  Chicago  is  the  first  city  so  to  honor  its  men  called 
for  service  in  the  National  Army,  and  it  is  probable  that  the  example 
w^ill  be  follow^ed  by  other  cities. 

Immediately  after  the  parade,  General   Barry  wrote  the  following  letter 
to  Colonel   Nicholson: 

I  cannot  speak  in  too  high  praise  of  the  magnificent  appearance 
made  by  the  Training  Camp  men  in  this  morning's  parade.  The  impres- 
sion they  made  on  everybody  who  was  fortunate  enough  to  witness  the 
parade  w^ill  be  lasting  and  should  convince  all  of  the  necessity  for,  and 
the  great  benefits  to  be  derived  from,  universal  service  and  training.  Chi- 
cago never  saw^  a  more  magnificent  body  of  intellectually,  morally  and 
physically  perfect  young  American  manhood  than  they  saw^  today  in  the 
Training  Camp  Regiment,  including  the  Training  Camp  men  w^ho  mag- 
nificently handled  the  selected  men.  I  congratulate  them  and  you  and 
all  the  instructors  at  the  Camp  for  the  wonderful  results  attained  in  the 
past  three  months. 


THE     FIRST     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 231 

I  am  satisfied,  too,  that  the  selected  men  were  impressed  by  the 
proficiency  of  the  men  who  are  to  command  them. 

I  would  like  to  have  you  assemble  all  the  Training  Camp  men  and 
read  them  this  letter. 

During  the  latter  days  of  July,  Lt.-Col.  James  A.  Ryan  and  Maj.  James 
S.  Parker  personally  interviewed  every  member  of  their  respective  regiments. 
Certain  hours  were  assigned  to  each  company,  battery  and  troop  for  these 
inspections.  When  the  chief  instructor  arrived  at  a  company  at  the  appointed 
hour,  the  men  were  w^aiting  in  line  outside  the  door,  in  a  mysterious  order, 
not  alphabetical,  having  been  placed  there  in  accordance  with  a  list  in  the 
hands  of  their  instructor.  Could  it  be  that  the  position  a  man  held  in  this  file 
meant  his  order  of  rank  in  the  company?  Eyes  glanced  up  and  down  the 
lengthy  line.  The  men  tow^ard  the  head  undoubtedly  had  made  excellent 
records.  Before  the  line  commenced  to  move  the  men  were  told  to  give 
certain  information  as  soon  as  they  had  properly  addressed  the  inspector, 
w^ithout  w^aiting  to  be  questioned.  They  should  then  replace  their  hat,  about 
face,  and  w^alk  out.  The  line  commenced  to  move.  The  first  man  had  gone 
in  and  out  successfully.  He  had  recited  his  "piece"  without  a  hitch.  All  down 
the  line  he  w^as  eagerly  questioned.  "Wasn't  anything.  They  don't  ask  you 
a  thing,  '  w^as  his  smiling  reply.  Nervousness  continued  to  grow,  however.  A 
speck  of  mud  on  a  shoe,  a  scratch  on  a  puttee,  a  bit  of  dust  on  a  sleeve  loomed 
alarmingly  annoying  as  the  momentous  door  w^as  approached.  No,  it  "wasn't 
anything,  "  but  some  men's  minds,  nevertheless,  became  an  utter  void  in  the 
midst  of  a  simple  statement,  and  others  awkw^ardly  faced  about  to  the  left  and 
bolted  for  the  door,  when  their  "speech"  had  been  finished,  only  to  have  the 
humiliation  of  being  recalled  by  the  inspecting  officer  and  told  to  about  face 
properly  to  the  right  before  leaving.  Some  believed  themselves  "queered  " 
for  good,  but  actually  it  is  doubtful  if  this  inspection  counted  for  much,  as 
the  final  lists  of  recommendations  were  already  made  up  and  ready  to  send 
in  to  Washington.  It  was  merely  a  little  act  of  checking  up  by  the  higher 
authorities  on  the  recommendations  of  the  company,  battery  and  troop  in- 
structors.     And  the  speculation  of  many  was  right  concerning  the  order  of  the 

line  awaiting  inspection the  men  had  been  arranged  to   appear  in   order   of 

rank  that  the  work  of  checking  recommendations  might  be  facilitated. 

On  August  3rd  the  following  bit  of  news  was  published,  resulting  in  the 
creation  of  multitudes  of  rumors,  speculations  and  moments  of  anxiety: 

Sealed  verdicts  are  ready  in  the  cases  of  the  4,000  members  of  the 
Officers'  Training  Camp  who  have  survived  the  grueling  work  of  the  last 
eleven   weeks. 

The  company  boards  w^hich  pass  upon  the  recommendations  of  the 
instructor  of  a  company,  battery  and  troop  completed  their  two  w^eeks' 
grind  this  evening.  They  have  listened  to  the  case  of  every  candidate 
for  a  commission,  have  read  his  record,  have  looked  him  over,  and  have 
approved  or  modified  the  recommendation  of  his  instructor. 

An  emphatic  order  from  the  War  Department  directs  that  no  pub- 
licity whatever  shall  be  given  the  recommendations  until  they  have  been 
acted  upon  at  Washington. 


232 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

It  is  expected  that  Washington  vs^ill  have  acted  upon  the  reports 
from  the  Camp  before  August  I  1th,  the  close  of  the  instruction  period; 
but  in  the  meantime  the  students  are  supposed  to  be  in  ignorance  of  their 
fate.  This  is  not  entirely  true,  as  some  of  them  have  discovered  exactly 
vv^here  they  stand,  but  Col.  W.  J.  Nicholson,  commanding  officer,  has 
asked  that  no  reports  of  this  sort  be  published. 

The    regimental    board    w^hich    passed    upon    recommendations    for 

staff  positions quartermaster  and  ordnance  department completed  its 

work  several  days  ago. 

There  were  not  many  more  days  of  work  remaining  before  the  fatal  news 
w^ould  be  know^n.  It  w^as  hard  to  study  under  these  conditions  of  uncertainty, 
but,  nevertheless,  work  and  study  did  go  on  with  the  accustomed  seriousness 
of  purpose. 

Three  farew^ell  receptions,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  w^ere 
held  during  the  next  to  final  weel:  of  Camp.  The  order  of  companies  attending

THE     FIRST     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 


233 


AWARDING  COMMISSIONS 


The  remarks  of  all  of  the  speakers  at  these  meetings  created  a  deep 
impression  on  these  men  who  were  on  the  verge  of  an  experience  without 
precedent  in  American  history.  The  words  of  the  commanding  officer,  Colonel 
Nicholson,   were  especially  taken  to  heart: 

A  previous  speaker  has  told  you  that  many  of  you  will  be  officers. 
I  would  like  to  make  officers  of  all  of  you,  but  we  are  limited  by  Wash- 
ington. You  know^  the  good  book  says  that  many  are  called,  but  few 
are  chosen.  We  are  going  a  little  further  and  say  that  many  have  been 
called  and  nearly  all  will  be  chosen. 

You  are  going  to  take  upon  yourselves  grave  responsibilities.  The 
term  officer  carries  the  idea  of  leadership.  You  know  your  duties  and 
know  yourselves.  You  are  going  to  be  up  against  some  hard  proposi- 
tions— propositions  that  you  haven't  been  used  to,  and  you  have  got  to 
make  up  your  minds  before  you  go  across  to  France  that  nothing  can 
stop  you  from  reaching  your  goal.  Whether  you  have  one  trench  or 
fifty  trenches  to  take,  you  must  decide  that  as  long  as  you  have  life  in 
your  bodies  you  must  fight  to  the  end.  Many  of  you  men  have  never 
been  leaders.      You  have  alw^ays  been  told  w^hat   to  do.      Now^  you   are 

going  to  tell  other  men  what  to  do  and  teach  them.      So  remember  this 

all  men  appreciate  justice  and  a  square  deal.  You  must  be  square  and 
just  in  all  your  dealings.  Be  honest  and  direct.  Don't  be  afraid  to  go 
up  to  a  man  and  take  hold  of  him  if  necessary.  The  law^  permits  you  to 
use  necessary  force.  Keep  yourselves  above  reproach  and  never  do  any- 
thing that  will  enable  a  man  to  say,  'Oh,  well,  if  that  man  does  anything 
to  me,  I'll  inform  on  him.  " 

Keep  your  consciences  clean,  live  like  men,  and  nothing  will  ever 
make  you  ashamed  or  afraid. 


234 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

I  hope  it  will  be  my  privilege  to  go  to  France  with  you,  and  from 
w^hat  I  have  seen  of  the  men  at  this  camp  I  am  sure  their  commanders 
will  not  blush  for  them,  for  I  feel  that  you  realize  that  you  have  a  high 
duty  to  perform  and  that  you  will  do  that  duty  to  the  best  of  your  ability. 

On  Thursday  evening,  August  9th,  the  rewards  of  three  months  of  tireless 
study  and  struggle  w^ere  meted  out.  It  w^as  an  evening  of  intense  and  hushed 
excitement.  Some  studying  had  been  done  following  supper,  but  after  a  few 
moments  of  attempted  application,  all  endeavor  failed.  Soon  there  were  dis- 
tant cries  of  "AH  out!",  "Fall  in!",  and  one  company  after  another,  at  intervals 
of  fifteen  minutes,  tramped  tensely  and  silently  out  of  their  company  streets. 
But  the  entire  quota  of  a  company  did  not  go.  After  the  men  had  formed  in 
the  dim  light  of  dusk,  the  captain  called  to  his  men  "at  ease"  and  read  the 
names  of  about  thirty  candidates.  Why  these  men  had  been  told  to  step  from 
the  ranks  w^as  not  immediately  announced,  but  it  was  later  made  know^n  that 
among  them  were  those  who  had  been  assigned  to  the  Regular  Army  as  pro- 
visional second  lieutenants,  those  who  w^ere  to  be  commissioned  in  the  quar- 
termaster or  ordnance  corps,  some  w^ho  w^ere  dismissed  for  good  and  those 
who  would  be  given  the  choice  either  of  attending  the  Second  Officers'  Train- 
ing Camp  or  going  into  service  in  the  National  Army  as  non-commissioned 
officers.  Let  it  be  said  to  the  great  credit  of  this  latter  group  that  the  majority 
of  those  w^ho  entered  the  National  Army  as  non-commissioned  officers  first 
rendered  invaluable  service  in  helping  to  train  the  new  recruits,  followed  in 
nearly  all  cases  by  recommendation  to  the  Third  Officers'  Training  Camp  and 
the  wrinning  of  a  commission;  w^hile  of  those  who  chose  to  enter  the  Second 
Officers'  Training  Camp,  practically  every  man  gained  a  commission,  some 
of  them  even  of  the  grade  of  first  lieutenant. 

The  remainder  of  the  company — about  80  to  1  00  men — closed  ranks 
to  the  right,  and,  at  the  appointed  minute,  under  command  of  their  captain 
instructor,  faced  to  the  right  and  followed  the  road  w^hich  led  to  the  ominous 
tow^er.  A  few^  feet  from  that  first  door,  w^hich  had  been  entered  in  May  w^ith 
the  little  postal  of  admission,  was  another  door.  Here  entered  the  solemn 
procession,  and  trudged  up  the  stairs.  After  indefinitely  climbing,  the  in- 
structor grasped  a  knob.  The  door  opened  and  the  men  filed  in.  There  w^ere 
desks  there.  They  seated  themselves  before  any  desk.  The  instructor  w^alked 
to  the  front  of  the  room.  His  steps  were  painfully  loud.  He  unbuttoned  a 
breast  pocket  and  pulled  out  a  crackling  roll  of  paper.  Some  candidates 
leaned  forward,  others  slouched  carelessly  back.  With  a  slight  cough,  he 
commenced  to  read: 

Adjutant  General's  Office,   August    7,    1917. 
To  Commanding  Officer,  Training  Camp, 
Fort  Sheridan,   Illinois. 

Inform  those  concerned  that  the  following  appointments  have  been 

made  from  Company,  Provisional 

Training  Regiment,   to  date  from  August   fifteen,   nineteen  seventeen. 

To    be    Majors:      Section     (Infantry,     Artillery,     Cavalry)     Officers' 
Reserve  Corps. 

To    be    Captains: 

To    be    First    Lieutenants: 

To    be    Second    Lieutenants: 


THE     FIRST     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP

On  down  the  line  he  read,  the  names  being  in  order  of  rank,  each  name 
registering  a  sentiment  of  approval,  commendation  or  surprise.  Feelings  of 
approval  outnumbered  those  of  surprise,  and  it  was  generally  agreed  that 
awards  had  been  properly  made.  The  task  of  the  instructor  in  classifying  so 
large  a  number  of  men,  known  by  him  for  so  brief  a  period,  was  admittedly 
one  of  extreme  difficulty.  Age,  previous  experience  and  training  camp  record 
had  been  carefully  weighed.  Of  these,  age  w^as  considered  of  greatest  impor- 
tance. Of  course,  some  mistakes  w^ere  made,  but  the  majority  of  appoint- 
ments, considering  the  fund  of  excellent  material,  could  not  have  been 
improved  upon. 

The  aw^ards  of  August  9th  were  to  be  kept  secret  until  public  announce- 
ment in  the  newspapers  had  been  made. 

Following  the  general  publication  of  the  commissions  awarded  came  the 
announcement  of  the  names  of  those  men  who  had  been  appointed  to  act  as 
instructors  at  the  Second  Officers'  Training  Camp.  Tw^o  such  men  of  the  rank 
of  either  captain  or  first  lieutenant  were  chosen  from  each  company,  battery 
and  troop. 

Another  announcement  which  came  as  a  total  surprise  to  every  candidate, 
whether  included  in  the  appointment  or  not,  w^as  a  list  of  officers  assigned  for 
duty  overseas.     The  method  of  choosing  these  men  varied  in  different  camps

THE  REVIEW— SOLEMN  IN  ITS  GRANDEUR 


of  the  country.  At  Plattsburg  announcement  of  the  opportunity  was  made 
and  French-speaking  volunteers  were  given  the  privilege  of  going.  In  order 
camps,  volunteers,  whether  French-speaking  or  not,  w^ere  sent.  At  Sheridan 
the  men  to  go  w^ere  chosen  by  the  instructors.  An  average  of  ten  men  from 
each  company,  battery  and  troop  were  selected — half  of  them  first  lieuten- 
ants and  half  second  lieutenants.  Needless  to  say,  these  men  were  the  envy 
of  their  comrades. 

The  day  follow^ing  the  announcement  of  commissions,  a  grand  review  was 
held  on  the  large  parade  ground  opposite  the  permanent  barracks.  Present 
in  the  reviewing  stand  were  Gov.  Frank  O.  Lowden  of  Illinois,  Gov.  Wood- 
bridge  N.  Ferris  of  Michigan,  Gov.  E.  M.  Philipp  of  Wisconsin,  Maj.  Gen. 
Thomas  H.  Barry  and  Col.  William  J.  Nicholson.  The  troops,  in  command 
of  Col.  James  A.  Ryan,  formed  at  2:15  P.  M.  in  line  of  masses  opposite  the 
reviewing  stand;  the  I  1th  Regiment,  Maj.  James  S.  Parker  commanding,  on 
the  right;  the  I  0th  Regiment,  Maj.  R.  B.  Parrott  commanding,  on  the  left.  The 
mass  of  4,000  candidates  presented  a  thrilling  spectacle  to  those  in  the  stand 
and  the  hundreds  of  visitors.  Addresses  were  made  by  each  of  the  Governors 
and  General  Barry.  Following  the  speeches,  the  men  were  called  to  attention 
and  swung  proudly  and  happily  in  review,  in  column  of  platoons,  past  the 
admiring  group  of  distinguished  guests. 

Prospect  of  scattered  training  companies  within  less  than  a  week's  time, 
after  w^hich   many  of  the  men  w^ould   never   see   each   other   again,    prompted 


THE     FIRST     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 237 

practically  every  organization  to  indulge  in  a  "Farewell  Banquet,"  where 
happy  and  humorous  experiences  of  the  three  months  might  be  reviewed,  and 
due  honor  paid  to  instructors  who  had  so  successfully  piloted  their  ships 
through  the  seething  sea  of  struggling  candidates.  Dining  rooms  in  neighbor- 
ing clubs  and  hotels  were  chartered  for  the  purpose,  and  the  fun,  speeches  and 
stunts  which  took  place  made  these  farewell  celebrations  occasions  of  the 
happiest  sort. 

The  turning  in  of  all  possible  equipment  commenced  on  Saturday,  August 
I  1th.  Then,  too,  those  who  had  been  holding  back  for  fear  of  not  meeting 
with  success,  began  to  busy  themselves  in  an  attempt  to  secure  officers'  uni- 
forms and  equipment  of  every  sort.  Others,  who  had  taken  a  chance  in 
ordering  clothes,    had   their   final    fittings. 

No  w^eek-end  passes  w^ere  allow^ed  the  last  Sunday  in  camp.  The  men 
were  held,  awaiting  new  developments  or  instructions  from  Washington. 

Monday  and  Tuesday,  August  I  3th  and  1  4th,  were  occupied  with  lectures 
and  the  turning  in  of  more  equipment.  Definite  w^ord  also  arrived  stating  that 
men  w^ho  were  to  be  assigned   to  the  National   Army  would  be  allowed   two 

w^eeks'  "leave,"  reporting  to  their  various  stations Camps  Custer  or  Grant 

on  August  29th.  Men  who  w^ere  to  go  overseas  must  make  ready  at  once 
and  sail  w^ithin  a  very  few^  days. 

August  15,  1917,  found  in  the  United  States  of  America  a  new  type  of 
man.  Of  these,  there  w^ere  30,000.  Three  months  before,  they  had  volun- 
teered for  training,  many  of  them  civilians,  unschooled  in  the  art  of  war.  They 
had  felt  the  call,  made  the  decision,  w^on  on  the  first  lap  of  the  race.  The 
camps  had  filled  them  w^ith  a  spirit  of  patriotism  not  felt  before.  The  training 
had  given  them  a  greater  confidence.  Some  few  hundred  sailed  for  impor- 
tant service  abroad.  The  greater  portion,  held  temporarily  in  sixteen  canton- 
ments throughout  the  United  States,  undertook  the  training  of  and  brought 
into  being  the  finest  type  of  soldier  that  America  or  Europe  has  ever  seen. 
Where  duty  bid  them  go,  the  "first  30,000"  went.  And  not  least  among 
them,  striving  ever  to  accomplish  their  w^ork  with  thoroughness,  loyalty  and 
patriotism,  were  members  of  that  memorable  group  who  trained  on  the  shores 
of  Lake  Michigan  from  May  to  August,  1917,  at  that  camp,  the  record  of 
which  as  an  officers'  training  center  in  the  United  States  has  been  unsurpassed 
— Fort  Sheridan.

J.  A.  RYAN,  Colonel  Cavalry,  Commanding. 


Headquarters  Second  Training  Camp,  Fort  Sheridan,  Illinois, 
August  23,  1917. 


TO  THE  CANDIDATES  OF  THE  SECOND  TRAINING  CAMP: 

You  have  been  selected  from  some  twenty  thousand  applicants  because 
your  qualifications  indicate  that  you  can  become  efficient  officers  in  the  armies 
of  the  United  States. 

The  success  of  the  First  Training  Camp  was  due  to  the  spirit  that  moved 
its  members  to  apply  themselves  from  the  start  to  the  work  in  hand.  You 
will  have  with  you  as  instructors  officers  of  the  Regular  Army  and  officers  w^ho 
have  just  completed  their  course  of  training  in  the  First  Training  Camps.  Their 
w^hole  object  w^ill  be  to  give  you  the  best  instruction,  practical  and  theoretical, 
that  is  possible  within  the  three  months'  time  allotted.  The  success  of  their 
work  will  depend  on  your  hearty  co-operation,  which  means  close  attention 
to  study  and  drill  and  strict  compliance  with  all  the  regulations  of  the  camp. 

Most  of  the  candidates  who  come  here  have  already  achieved  success  in 
civil  life — success  in  military  life  is  achieved  by  the  same  means,  namely,  w^ork 
and  study.  You  know^  the  methods,  and  the  very  fact  that  you  have  come 
here  shows  your  intention  to  apply  them. 

The  two  qualities  in  men  which  brought  about  the  greatest  returns  in  the 
last  encampment  were  patience  and  team-work.  Patience  enables  us  to 
examine  with  care  the  requirements  of  any  problem,  and  team-w^ork  brings 
the  united  efforts  of  all  who  achieve  success.  Cheerfulness,  good  humor,  and 
the  habit  of  looking  at  the  bright  side  of  things  will  be  of  great  assistance.  The 
man  who  can  retain  his  cheerfulness  under  the  most  trying  circumstances  is  the 
man  who  wins  in  the  end. 

Remember,  you  are  in  a  way  going  back  to  school,  and  the  comradeship 
which  you  will  find  among  your  fellow  candidates  in  the  various  companies 
w^ill  be  an  incentive  to  effort.  The  friendships  you  will  form  here  w^ill  be 
lasting,  and  one  of  the  greatest  results  that  will  come  under  your  observation 
will  be  the  many  good  qualities  you  will  discover  among  your  comrades  during 
these  three  months  which  you  little  suspected  when  you  first  met  them. 

Remember,  this  is  the  world's  greatest  problem,  and  everything  you  do 
each  day  here  contributes  to  the  final  results  as  much  as  if  you  were  in  the 
trenches  in  Flanders. 

J.  A.  RYAN, 

Colonel  of  Cavalry. 


T 


HEY   WERE   OFF! 


For  several  months  they  had  been  waiting  in  cities  and  towns  back  home. 
The  cantonments  were  being  constructed.  Some  of  the  regulars  had  gone 
across.  The  National  Guard,  mobilized  for  months  on  the  border,  was 
prepared  to  embark.  The  First  Officers'  Training  Camp  was  completed.  The 
new^ly-commissioned  officers  had  already  been  assigned  to  Camp  Grant  or 
Camp  Custer,  while  hundreds,  w^ho  had  not  received  commissions,  had  enlisted 
at  the  recruiting  stations,  determined  to  see  service  at  all  costs. 

Twenty  thousand  men  had  applied  for  the  Second  Reserve  Officers' 
Training  Camp  at  Fort  Sheridan.  Four  thousand  had  been  chosen.  The 
examining  boards  which  went  through  the  cities  and  towns  of  Illinois,  Michi- 
gan, Wisconsin,  Kansas,  Colorado  and  Missouri,  w^ere  instructed  to  select  men 
on  the  basis  of  merit  only.  They  were  to  choose  men  who  were  physically 
fit,  men  of  experience  who  had  already  w^on  places  of  responsibility  in  civil 
life.  They  found  men  anxious,  ready,  competing  for  places,  proud  to  be 
chosen  and  prepared  to  go  through. 

Early  on  the  morning  of  August  23rd,  the  new  "Rookies"  appeared  at 
Fort  Sheridan.  Some  came  the  night  before  to  avoid  the  rush.  But  the 
majority  streamed  in  that  August  morning  and  filled  up  the  long  rows  that 
began  in  the  gymnasium  and  stretched  out  through  the  door  around  the  corner 
and  up  the  street.  There  w^ere  all  kinds  of  men  in  that  line.  Grandfathers, 
several  of  them,  trying  to  look  like  college  graduates,  and  pulling  their  age 
records  across  the  dead  line  without  batting  an  eye.  Congressmen,  bankers 
and  brokers,  business  leaders,  professional  leaders,  deans  of  universities, 
clergymen,  mechanics,  golf  champions  and  hurdle  champions,  actors,  play- 
wrights,  musical  critics,   farmers,   ranchers,   miners,   students. 

Look  at  them.  They  are  coming  up  in  long  lines  like  children  on  the 
first  day  of  school. 

Look  at  them — clothes  do  make  some  difference  in  a  man.  But  in  a  day 
the  natty  hat  band,  the  silk  shirt,  the  carefully  pressed  suit  will  disappear. 
In  their  place,  the  old  service  hat,  the  second-grade  khaki  shirt,  the  service 
uniform,   canvas  putts  and  broad-toed   shoes. 

You  will  not  recognize  them  again  until  you  get  up  close  and  peer 
beneath  the  broad  brim.  Then  you  smile  the  first  time.  They  were  the  same 
but  so  different. 

You  may  never  see  them  again  in  the  distinguishing  clothes  of  the  civilian, 
for  many  a  man  who  went  up  the  line  that  August  morning,  laid  down  for  his 
final  sleep  in  the  Somme  or  in  the  Argonne,  dressed  in  the  khaki  which  he 
donned  for  the  first  time  at  Fort  Sheridan. 

After  they  had  registered  and  made  selection  of  the  branch  of  seivice 
they  wished  to  enter  they  went  to  their  new  quarters. 

The  men  from  Kansas,  Colorado,  Missouri — newcomers  to  Fort  Sheridan 
and,  in  a  sense,  guests  of  Illinois,  were  given  the  Brick  Barracks.  So  were  the 
majority  of  the  men  from  Michigan  and  Wisconsin,  as  in  the  First  Camp. 


THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 331 

Three  companies  and  two  batteries  from  Michigan,  Wisconsin  and  two 
batteries  and  the  companies  from  lUinois  occupied  the  wooden  barracks  south 
of  the  gully. 

After  leaving  the  gymnasium  that  August  morning  the  new  rookie  went 
to  the  company  to  which  he  was  assigned.  Provisions  had  been  made  for  his 
coming.  Equipment  was  ready.  Consequently  there  was  not  the  long  period 
of  waiting  where  men  only  half-equipped  march  with  their  company  for  weeks. 

Early  in  the  afternoon  of  the  first  day  the  commandant  looked  out  on 
the  parade  grounds.  He  saw  company  after  company  marching  by — the 
officers  of  the  companies  competing  with  each  other  to  see  who  could  get 
their  men  to  work  first  and  who  could  make  the  best  showing.  No  one  will 
pretend  the  marching  was  perfect.  There  were  some  sad  efforts  to  maintain 
the  pace — there  were  some  wornout  rookies  before  night — but  they  got  to  it 
fast,  and  when  they  went  to  mess  at  6  P.  M., — Oh,  Boy! 

That  first  mess — it  was  interesting.  Long  wooden  tables — and  long 
benches — men  closely  packed.  Cooks  and  waiters  who  had  been  through 
three  months'  grind,  unaffected  by  "Who  is  who."  Just  "cooking  the  chow" 
and  putting  it  before  the  crowd. 

Some  courtesy  and  politeness  that  first  mess.  Just  getting  acquainted, 
trying  to  get  a  right  start  with  the  men  of  the  squad.  Looking  things  over 
casually  then  passing  them  to  the  next  fellow,  thinking  that  they  would  return 
as  they  did  back  home,  but  they  had  a  way  of  not  returning,  and  "there  wasn't 
any  more" — so  the  waiter  said.     That  was  an  army  lesson  they  didn't  forget. 

Then  came  the  second  mess  after  the  hike  of  that  first  afternoon  and 
home  rules  were  off.  Men  did  not  scan  the  dishes  placed  before  them — they 
reached  and  ate  and  then  reached  again.  The  coffee  wasn't  just  like  the 
Blackstone,  but  it  was  warm  and  it  went  to  the  spot  and  after  they  had  eaten 
everything  placed  in  front  of  them  they  went  to  the  canteen  and  bought 
some  more. 

To  show  just  how  rules  of  army  etiquette  are  formed  we  believe  the  prize 
should  go  to  the  man  who  gave  the  following  bits  of  advice  to  his  comrades  on 
"How^  to  become  popular  in  the  Mess  Hall.' 

1.  As  soon  as  the  signal  is  given  to  "take  seats"  get  your  feet  under  the 
table  as  quickly  as  possible.  Never  do  it  the  same  way  twice,  though.  In  this 
way  you  keep  the  fellows  on  both  sides  of  you  in  doubt  and  generally  result  in 
your  getting  first  stab  at  the  meat. 

2.  Grab  the  coffee  pitcher  with  one  hand  and  the  bread  plate  with  the 
other  and  never  let  go  of  either  until  you've  laid  in  your  supply. 

3.  If  there  are  only  three  pieces  of  anything  left  on  a  plate  when  it  gets 
to  you,  take  two.  The  plate  may  not  come  back  again  and  the  chances  are 
that  the  other  fellows  didn't  want  any  anyway. 

4.  When  biscuits  are  passed,  don't  forget  your  party  tricks,  for  you 
may  grow  hungry  later  and  uniforms  have  pockets. 

5.  Try  to  sip  your  soup  as  noisily  as  possible.  It  helps  to  drown  the 
noise  of  dishes.

6.  Think  of  some  pleasant  subject  to  discuss  with  your  neighbors,  such 
as  religion  or  the  death  of  some  dear  friend. 

7.  Splash  as  much  syrup  as  possible  on  the  handle  of  the  syrup  holder. 
The  other  men  will  thank  you  for  this,  as  it  will  prevent  them  from  letting  it 
slip  through  their  hands. 

8.  Always  pull  a  big  laugh  when  your  mouth  is  full  of  crackers.  Crack- 
ers in  one's  face  is  far  more  preferable  than  dust. 

9.  Don't  forget  to  point  out  all  the  mistakes  made  by  the  other  boys 
during  the  day.  It  does  much  to  elevate  the  opinion  of  your  hearers  on  your 
own  knowledge. 

10.  If  a  fly  lands  in  your  meat  be  sure  and  call  the  attention  of  every  one 
to  it.     It  isn't  everyone  can  land  a  fly. 

1  1.  Use  your  knife  freely.  Sw^ord  swallowers  are  scarce  these  days,  and 
besides  the  knives  are  not  sharp. 

I  2.  In  leaving  the  mess  hall  slap  as  many  fellows  as  possible  on  the  back. 
It's  a  real  "fratty  "  stunt,  and  helps  those  slapped  to  digest  their  meal. 

Few  days  in  the  service  were  more  interesting  than  those  early  days  at 
Fort  Sheridan.  At  first  there  were  tired  legs  and  weary  arches,  but  that  was 
not  all.      Then  came  weary  brains.      Men  accustomed  to  large  affairs,  and  to 


THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 


333 


broad   experiences  were  suddenly  called   upon  to  start  in  and   master  the  A. 

B.   C.   of  military  tactics the  school  of  the  soldier,   the  school  of  the  squad, 

the  school  of  the  company,  or,  in  other  words,  the  I.  D.  R. 

Candidate  ,  the  executive  head  of  one  of  the  great  industries 

of  the  country,  sat  on  the  side  of  his  bunk  at  the  close  of  one  of  these  early 
days.  He  w^as  not  physically  tired.  He  was  too  well-trained  for  that — but  he 
w^as  evidently  all  in.  What  had  happened?  Well,  the  A.  B.  C.'s  of  military 
training  was  too  much  for  the  mind  that  knew  how  to  handle  big  affairs  with- 
out strain. 

No  one  w^ill  know  how^  conscientiously  these  men  tried  to  memorize  every 
word,  every  detail  of  those  infantry  regulations,  repeating  them  by  day  and 
by  night — perfecting  each  page  as  though  life  itself  depended  upon  it.  They 
made  their  brains  sw^eat.  They  opened  up  the  old  avenues  of  memory.  Their 
w^ills  forced  the  old  brain  to  go  back  and  to  master  the  methods  of  youth. 
They  learned  what  they  should  have  learned  as  boys  as  a  part  of  their  citizen- 
ship, the  ability  not  merely  to  protect  themselves  but  to  protect  their  country 
as  leaders. 

No  man  of  forty  who  went  through  those  early  days  will  ever  forget  how 
impossible  it  seemed   to  ever  master  the  essentials   of  military  training  upon

which  the  lives  of  thousands  would  depend  further  on.  No  men  ever  worked 
harder  than  they  did  then.  "All  work  and  no  play  makes  Jack  a  dull  boy", 
and  it  does  the  same  thing  with  the  rookie. 

Colonel  Ryan  watched  the  men  work,  read  the  reports,  inspected  the 
companies  and  was  pleased.  Could  they  keep  up  the  pace?  If  they  could  this 
would  be  the  most  military  training  camp  in  the  country. 

They  must  play  as  well  as  work,  he  said,  and  they  must  learn  lessons  of 
proper  training  and  caring  for  their  men  at  Fort  Sheridan  which  they  could 
apply  elsew^here.  Music,  for  instance,  was  a  relief  at  the  close  of  the  day. 
So  the  Director  of  Morale  w^as  instructed  to  provide  a  piano  for  every  com- 
pany. Some  hard-boiled  old  timers  smiled  the  next  day  when  a  fleet  of  trucks 
came  out  from  Chicago  loaded  w^ith  pianos.  The  movers  smiled  too 
w^hen  they  unloaded  a  piano  into  the  company  barracks — but  when  the  men 
came  marching  in  on  a  cold  afternoon  and  some  man  who  knew  how  went  in 
and  tickled  the  keys,  you  could  hear  the  old  wooden  barracks  harmonize  from 
one  end  to  another — and  everybody  smiled — caught  the  spirit  and   w^ent  to

mess  a  little  more  cheerful  and  to  study  at  night  with  great  zest  because  of  it. 
Of  course  there  were  some  rotten  musicians,  some  terrible  discord,  some  real 
makers  of  agony,  that  prepared  everybody  for  the  worst,  but  it  was  a  lot 
better  than  gossip  and  grouches,  or  even  silence  and  snores,  and  more  and 
more  the  piano  became  an  important  piece  of  furniture  in  the  Camp. 

Speed,  energy,  enthusiasm  marked  the  first  w^eek's  work.  Colonel  James 
A.  Ryan,  by  his  careful  plans,  his  complete  grasp  of  details  and  his  considerate 
spirit,  taught  these  men  a  wonderful  lesson  on  the  very  first  day  and  by  the 
end  of  a  week,  they  knew  that  they  had  a  real  leader — competent,  courteous, 
strict  in  discipline,  but  considerate,  thoughtful,  and  always  holding  in  mind  the 
purpose  of  giving  his  men  the  best  training  possible. 

At  the  close  of  the  first  week  the  Commanding  Officer  spoke  to  the  men  in 
the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  building.  His  speech  was  a  prophecy  of  what  the  Camp 
became  in  time.      He  said:

I  want  vim  in  everything.  I  want  this  camp  to  be  the  most  military 
in  the  United  States.     Smile;  be  courteous;  be  patient. 

You  have  come  here  to  perform  a  task.  Your  officers  will  carry 
out  their  part  and  by  the  progress  w^hich  w^as  made  yesterday,  and  today, 
I  am  inspired  by  the  hope  that  you  will  carry  out  your  part. 

You  men  have  come  here  because  you  have  made  a  decision  be- 
tw^een  right  and  wrong.  There  are  only  two  things  in  this  world — right 
and  w^rong.  God  has  given  you  a  conscience  vs^hich  is  His  voice  speaking 
within  you.  When  anything  in  your  daily  lives  come  up  there  is  a  broad 
line  of  demarcation  between  the  right  and  the  wrong  and  in  your  de- 
cisions never  w^aver,  but  manfully  speak  out  for  the  right.  That  habit  of 
decision  is  one  of  the  most  important  things  in  military  life. 

Upon  your  decisions  may  depend  men  s  lives.  You  must  accustom 
yourselves  to  decisions.  You  will  find  in  this  Camp  a  great  many  things 
to  which  you  are  not  accustomed.  The  attitude  you  take  toward  them 
w^ill  determine  your  success  or  failure.

THE  HOUSE  IN  ORDER 


Look  at  the  humorous  side  of  things.  Don't  forget  that  humor  is 
the  saving  thing  of  Hfe.  When  you  men  are  worn  out  by  a  hard  day  in 
the  trenches  or  on  the  march  remember  that  there's  always  a  bright  side 
to  everything. 

Train  yourselves  to  the  habit  of  precision  even  in  the  smallest 
things.  Be  slow^  to  decide  about  the  characters  of  the  men  about  you. 
In  time  you  will  discover  qualities  in  your  companions  that  you  never 
suspected  before.  Look  upon  your  officer  as  your  big  brother.  Bear 
toward  him  the  brotherly  love  that  he  w^ill  bear  toward  you.  I  w^ant  my 
officers  to  give  careful  consideration  to  all  questions  and  to  give  appro- 
priate replies. 

It  is  a  serious  question  to  decide  in  three  months  w^ho  shall  be 
officers.  Don't  forget  that  the  officers  who  command  you  will  do  justice 
not  only  to  you  but  to  the  United  States  Government.  This  country 
w^ants  ability  in  leaders.      It  wants  men  w^ho  w^ill  win. 

I  want  my  officers  to  allow  no  outside  influence  to  affect  their  de- 
cisions. I  want  nothing  to  control  but  the  qualities  they  observe  in  you 
from  day  to  day.  That's  what  we  want,  that's  what  they  w^ant  and  that's 
what  you  w^ant. 

Methods  of  w^arfare  are  changing  every  day.  I  have  to  study  just 
as  you  are  studying.  We  are  going  to  give  you  the  most  advanced  course 
possible  in  three  months'  time.  You  are  going  to  live,  eat  and  sleep  in 
the  trenches  for  forty-eight  hours  at  a  time.  There  may  even  be  gas 
attacks.  In  short,  w^e  are  going  to  give  you  as  nearly  as  possible  those 
things  which  will  make  up  your  experience  on  the  other  side. 

Remember  that  in  military  life,  as  in  civil  life,  there  is  one  thing 
that  smooths  out  all  rough  places the  oil  of  courtesy.  Use  it  in  every- 
thing.     Remember  that  to  all  propositions  that  you  approach  there  are 

always  two  handles rough   and   smooth.      Use   the  smooth   every  time. 

Be  patient.      Don't  be  selfish,   but  work   for   the  success   of  your  squad, 
your  platoon  and  your  company.      Approach  all  your  tasks  with  a  smile. 


THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 


339 


On  Saturday  the  men  were  given  their  first  leave.  It  came  as  a  great 
relief  to  many.  Tired  bodies  and  tired  brains  tempted  men  to  sleep  for 
twenty-four  hours  in  some  quiet  place.  Many  went  to  their  homes — some  to 
the  city  for  a  change;  but  tucked  away  in  some  corner,  or  down  by  the  lake 
you  could  see  man  after  man  trying  to  make  up  during  the  brief  respite  for 
his  slow^ness  in  grasping  what  had  been  taught  through  the  w^eek. 

In  many  a  secluded  spot  on  that  first  day  of  leave,  some  hard-pressed 
rookie  drilled  and  studied,  hoping  by  this  added  effort  to  maintain  his  place  in 
the  ranks  until  his  body  and  brain  would  respond  to  the  gruelling  test. 

Many  months  after  the  war  a  former  rookie  who  had  a  son  in  the  service, 
confessed  that  he  had  not  only  used  his  days  of  leave  but  had  also  used  the 
brief  hour  of  rest  between  4:30  and  5  :30  to  catch  up.  Down  in  the  gully  con- 
cealed by  bushes  he  had  employed  an  old  army  sergeant  to  tutor  him  and  to 
put  him  right.     This  spirit  was  invaluable. 

Upon  their  return  for  the  second  w^eek  the  rookie  found  the  official 
schedule  posted  on  the  Company  Bulletin  Board.  We  reprint  it.  Those  w^ho 
helped  to  carry  it  through  w^ill  remember  how^  some  of  it  felt  and  how^  much 
it  eventually  helped.

Extra  time  to  be  used   for  further  instruction  in  material,    gun

Many   of  the  Regular   Army   officers  who   had   acted    as   staff   officers   or 
instructors  in  the  First  Camp  were  promoted  and  assigned  to  other  organiza- 
tions when  that  Camp  closed. 

The  Second  Camp  had  not  progressed  far  before  the  majority  of  those 
who  were  left  were  assigned  elsewhere  and  only  a  small  number  remained  to 
act  as  majors  of  battalions  and  as  staff  officers. 

Too  much  cannot  be  said  for  the  Regular  Army  officers  who  were  at 
Fort  Sheridan.  They  disproved  from  the  start  the  common  idea  that  the 
officers  of  the  United  States  Army  in  times  of  peace  had  lived  an  inactive  life. 
These  men  had  been  kept  in  the  finest  training.  Many  of  them,  after 
years  of  education  and  experience,  had  come  to  Fort  Sheridan  at  the  First 
Camp  ranking  as  first  lieutenants  and  captains,  yet  they  had  built  a  physical

and  technical  founda- 
tion upon  which  they 
were  able  to  extend 
their  qualities  for 
leadership,  so  that 
within  a  year  they 
w^ere  acting  on  some 
of  the  most  respon- 
sible   positions    in    the 

A.  E.  F. 

Years  of  inten- 
sive training  and 
study,  the  discipline 
to  keep  themselves  fit 
for  such  a  time  as  this, 
as  vvell  as  their  simple, 
direct,  considerate, 
confident  manner,  all 
conspired  to  make 
them  ideal  training 
leaders  for  such  a 
Camp. 

The  men  w^ere 
quick  to  perceive  in 
them  qualities  of  real 
leadership  and  an  un- 
usual loyalty  devel- 
o  p  e  d  between  the 
Regular  Army  officers 
who  show^ed  any  dis- 
tinguishing characteristics  and  the  men  who  were  to  be  the  leaders  of  the 
new  National  Army.  This  loyalty  and  admiration  continues  even  after  the 
details  are  forgotten — and  the  officers  of  the  Regular  Army  will  always 
have  some  better  friends  in  civil  life,  because  of  the  associations  of  those 
earlier  days. 

Every  Fort  Sheridan  man,  no  matter  how  large  his  experience  in  business 
or  professional  life  may  have  been,  realized  that  there  is  something  in  the 
kind  of  intensive  military  training,  the  knowledge  of  practical  details,  the  ease 
and  simplicity  of  commanding  leadership  which  cannot  be  imitated  nor  can 
it  be  learned  with  rapidity. 

As  a  foundation  for  any  future  policy  of  adequate  defense,  they  realize 
that  there  must  be  maintained  a  large  and  capable  group  of  such  highly 
trained  military  leaders.  ^ 

As  the  Regular  Army  officers  departed,  the  Reserve  officers  who  had 
been  selected  in  the  First  Camp  at  Fort  Sheridan  and  Fort  Reilly  took  their 
places.      Most  of  these  new  officers  had  some  previous  military  training  before 


THE   BROOM   AND   BUCKET   BRIGADE 


346 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

coming  to  the  First  Camp.      They  had  shown  to  their  instructors  their  ability 
along  these  lines  and  were  selected  on  this  basis. 

A  great  deal  of  credit  belongs  to  the  instructors  of  companies  in  the 
Second  Camp,  every  one  of  whom  was  a  Reserve  officer.  It  w^as  a  difficult 
problem  they  faced.  In  addition  to  the  responsibility  of  giving  correct  military 
instruction  and  of  keeping  up  with  the  constantly  changing  methods  of  war- 
fare, these  men  had  in  their  companies  older,  more  experienced  men  w^ho 
were  leaders  in  every  w^alk  of  life,  and  younger  men  who  had  had  little  training 
and  some  who  were  not  qualified  for  leadership.  These  must  be  continually 
inspired  and  their  true  values  estimated  with  fairness.      It  w^as  some  job. 

They  did  it,  and  did  it  well.  It  was  one  of  the  fine  accomplishments  of 
these  early  days.  Sure — there  were  some  who  were  not  satisfied — others  who 
felt  that  their  personal  abilities  were  not  properly  recognized,  but  the  rank  and 
file  recognized  the  splendid  services  given  and  much  of  the  loyalty  so  evident 
between  officers  and  men  in  the  First  Camp  was  transferred  to  the  more  inti- 
mate relationships  of  the  Second. 

There  were  several  noticeable  changes  in  the  Second  Camp.  One  was 
the  weather.  July  and  August,  w^ith  their  bright  sun,  their  hot  days,  their 
warm  nights,  had  departed.     September  tried  to  be  kind,  but  it  couldn't. 

Whew!  B-r-r-r!  The  old  wind  began  to  blow  off  the  lake.  The  early 
cold  of  Northern  Wisconsin  came  hustling  across  the  w^aves. 

Some  of  the  candidates  who  had  been  enjoying  a  brief  leave  came  back 
the  third  Sunday  afternoon  looking  like  "Washington's  forces  at  Valley 
Forge." 

Big  sheet-iron  stoves  went  up  in  the  wooden  barracks  and  every  one 
joined  the  "Hot  stove  brigade."  Lumber  v/as  brought  hurriedly  to  the  rescue 
to  line  the  walls  of  the  wooden  barracks  and  to  reinforce  the  floors.  The  old 
sun  came  back  in  a  few  days — smiled  deceptively  as  much  as  to  say,  "I  was 
just  playing  with  you.  "  But  he  didn't  fool  the  rookies  again.  They  were 
ready  next  time  and  although  there  were  some  cold,  wet  days  before  December 
1st,   they  were  all  set. 

On  Sunday  evenings,  the  men  came  back  from  leave  at  4  P.  M.  Colonel 
Ryan  arranged  for  get-together  meetings  in  the  gymnasium.  The  opening 
address  w^as  made  by  Major-General  William  H.  Carter,  Commander  of  the 
Central  Department. 

A  crowded  house  greeted  General  Carter.  With  soldier-like  simplicity 
he  seemed  to  speak  directly  to  each  individual  man.      He  said: 

I  urge  every  one  of  you  to  maintain  the  standard  of  ethics  laid  dow^n 
by  General  Washington. 

Conduct  yourselves  in  a  way  that  will  be  a  source  of  pride  to  your- 
selves, your  family,  your  friends  and  your  country. 

Some  of  you,  when  you  become  officers,  w^ill  feel  that  you  are  not 
appreciated.  I  warn  you  against  that  feeling.  The  only  object  of  your 
living  should  be  to  give  the  best  that  is  in  you.  Opportunity  plays  a 
great  part.  Some  may  be  observed  to  perform  achievements  w^hile 
others  may  be  ignored  for  a  time,  but,  remember,  if  you  continue  to 
perform  the  task  before  you  that  fact  will  not  go  unheeded.

347 


I.  F.  CONNEROY.   COLONEL  RYAN,   ROGER  SULLIVAN.   J.   J.   CORBETT 


Common  sense  is  the  chief  element  involved  in  leadership  besides 
courage.  Remember,  the  boys  of  the  National  Army  are  as  full  of  energy 
and  spirit  as  you  are,  and  you  must  make  allowance  for  shortcomings  due 
to  exuberance. 

In  the  old  days  of  Greece  it  was  the  custom  to  bring  to  Athens  for 
the  great  games  only  those  of  the  provinces  who  w^ere  supreme  in 
prowess.  The  final  event  in  the  contests  was  the  torch  bearers'  race, 
where  the  leading  athletes  were  placed  in  line  and  each  given  a  torch. 
It  was  not  the  runner  who  merely  crossed  the  line  first  that  was  victorious, 
but  the  man  who  led  the  van  of  those  who  kept  their  torches  alight. 

Those  old  Greeks  through  this  contest  desired  to  instill  into  the 
minds  of  their  strong  men  the  fact  that  they  must  keep  aglow  the  fire  of 
their  patriotism  that  the  liberties  of  Greece  might  be  preserved. 

Do  you  see  to  it,  too,  that  you  keep  aglow  the  torch  of  liberty  and 

that  you  reach  the  goal  with  something  still  left  in  you. 

From  Sunday  to  Monday  seemed   like  a  step    from   the  Sublime  to   the 

Ridiculous.     They  had  listened  to  the  Commander  of  the  Central  Department 

urging  them  "to  keep  aglow  the  torch  of  liberty."     What  was  this  they  hear  on 

Monday?  —  "Grab  up  your  pick  and  shovel  and  dig  trenches." 

Out  there  on  the  parade  grounds  there  were  some  trenches  already. 
They  represented  blisters,  sore  backs  and  callouses  developed  in  the  First 
Camp,  but  they  were  only  a  beginning.      With  one-half  the  number  of  men,

there  was  to  be  four  times  the  digging.  The  gully  was  to  be  crossed.  The 
trenches  w^ere  to  extend  out  into  the  w^oods  and  w^hen  completed  w^ere  to 
include  the  entire  category  of  field  fortifications,  dugouts,  latrines,  machine- 
gun  placements,  observation  points,  first  aid  stations  and  ambulance  depots. 
The  system  was  to  be  large  enough  to  accommodate  an  entire  regiment  of 
infantry. 

In  the  digging  of  trenches  there  had  to  be  developed  a  technique  not  to 
be  found  in  military  work  before  this  war.  It  v^as  fortunate  that  at  this  time 
there  came  to  Fort  Sheridan  a  man  who  won  a  big  place  in  the  hearts  of  all 
the  men  and  who  w^as  greatly  admired  both  for  his  spirit  and  ability.  This 
man  was  Captain  Georges  Etienne  Bertrand  of  the  Sixth  Battalion,  Alpine 
Chasseurs. 

He  had  taken  part  in  the  great  battles  of  the  war.  He  had  been  wounded 
four  times  and  had  received  the  Cross  of  the  Legion  of  Honor.  His  arrival 
brought  a  new  air  of  reality  as  well  as  a  more  technically  perfect  plan  of 
operation. 

Early  on  Monday  morning  the  companies  marched  out  to  the  job,  armed 
with  picks  and  shovels — each  company  assigned  to  a  specific  job.  The  earth 
began  to  fly — trees  were  cut  down,  old  trenches  were  drained.  The  rain  came 
down  to  complicate  the  job.  Wherever  men  could  get  high  rubber  boots  it 
helped,  but  sometimes  you  would  see  a  man  almost  up  to  his  waist  in  mud 
going  to  it,  as  though  his  life  depended  on  it. 

At  night  the  Illinois  regiment  that  had  been  working  through  the  day 
slept  in  the  trenches.  Somewhere  off  there  in  the  woods  Michigan  and  Wis- 
consin men  had  been  making  ready  to  act.  Diplomacy  had  failed.  Since  the 
Michigan-Wisconsin  men  had  lived  in  style  over  in  the  brick  barracks,  a  fight 


THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 


351 


WITH  YOUR  FOOT  IN  ANOTHER  GUY'S  EAR 


was  inevitable.  Michigan-Wisconsin  had  a  practically  easy  day,  except  for 
the  rain.  No  tired  backs — no  blistered  hands — no  poorly  drained  ditches  to 
stand  in.  They  were  w^aiting  for  darkness  to  make  their  attack.  Illinois  was 
waiting  to  meet  them. 

The  trenches  on  the  Somme — the  dugouts  so  vividly  pictured  by  Bairns- 
father — had  their  duplicate  that  night  at  Fort  Sheridan.  As  ditch  diggers, 
some  of  the  rookies  were  better  comedians  than  plumbers.  For  in  their  zeal 
to  dig  faster  than  the  next  company,  some  forgot  that  water  ran  down  hill. 

If  you  w^ere  there,  you  w^ill  remember  the  first  night  in  the  trenches  at 
Fort  Sheridan.  It  had  all  the  horrors  except  bursting  shells.  The  bottom  of 
the  trenches  soon  became  sluiceways  of  mud.  The  rain,  cold  and  clinging, 
came  down  in  floods.  Patrols  climbing  over  the  top  could  neither  be  seen 
nor  heard  a  few  feet  distant.  Guards  stood  looking  over  the  parapets  and 
wondering  when  morning  would  come. 

Who  could  describe  the  dugouts  on  that  first  rainy  night?  There  was 
one  in  w^hich  the  company  had  taken  particular  pride  during  the  day.  A  group 
of  men  afterwards  notable  in  the  service  helped  to  build  it  and  they  were 
proud.     They  only  forgot  one  thing  that  was  important — water  runs  down  hill. 

In  the  early  evening  it  was  fine.  A  happy  group — at  the  end  of  a  hard 
day,  whispered  their  experiences,  imitating  real  warfare.  They  had  built  a 
dirt  seat  for  comfort  around  the  dugout,  and  a  cozy  sheet-iron  stove  in  the 
center.     Then  the  rain  began  to  operate.      Down  the  trenches  it  came  until  it 


352 


THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 


found  the  welcome  trench  that  led  to  the  dugout  and  then  it  just  kept  on 
running.  Higher  and  higher  it  rose,  while  the  men  looked  at  each  other  in 
despair.  They  were  men  who  were  generally  resourceful,  but  they  never  had 
faced  a  situation  like  this.  So,  like  Noah,  they  tried  standing  on  the  seats  and 
hanging  their  coats  and  guns  on  improvised  racks,  but  at  last  they  gave  it  up 
as  a  bad  job  and  with  cold,  wet  feet  and  clothing  soaked,  they  went  out  into 
the  night  to  take  their  chances  with  weather  and  water  straight.  Oh,  that 
night! 

During  the  night  sharp  encounters  took  place  and  the  student  officers 
were  given  every  opportunity  to  develop  proficiency  in  patrol  and  interior 
guard  duty.  When  the  battle  was  over  and  the  sun  came  out  in  the  morning, 
the  Illinois  regiment  had  taken  nine  prisoners  and  the  Michigan-Wisconsin 
regiment  three. 

Day  after  day  through  that  week,  day  work  and  night  watching  was 
repeated,  until  every  man  had  been  at  both  several  times  and  until  five  miles 
of  completed  trenches  with  bridges  and  barb-wire  entanglements  stretched 
across  drill  grounds  and  woods  beyond. 

A  former  attorney  from  the  Michigan  Telephone  Company  had  labored 

long  and  earnestly  with 
his  squad  in  the  con- 
struction of  a  "dugout" 
and,  though  tired  and 
muddy,  was  taking 
comfort  in  the  thought 
that  his  job  was  nearly 
completed. 

The  captain  came 
along  and,  after  look- 
ing things  over,  smiled 
pleasantly.  The  rookie 
law^yer  misunderstood 
the  smile  of  approval 
and  said,  "Pretty  good 
job,  sir."  "Yes,"  said 
the  officer,  "as  far  as  it 
goes.  When  you  get 
that  finished  you  can 
start  on  your  communi- 
cating trenches." 

The  rooky's  face 
rapidly  registered  in- 
credulity   then     the 

shock  of  surprise then 

disgust  and,  as  the  cap- 
tain   walked    away,    he 
WATER?  remarked,    "What's  the 


THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 353 

use  of  digging  six  feet  of  trench  six  feet  deep,  just  for  communications,  when 
a  telephone  wire  would  give  quicker  and  better  service  and  be  a  darn  sight 
easier  to  rig  up?" 

Another  younger  man  who  had  never  dug  very  hard  at  anything  before 
and  whose  idea  of  training  to  be  an  officer  had  been  gained  largely  from 
colored  posters,  was  heard  to  remark,  "What's  the  use  of  my  learning  to  do 
this?  I  could  get  a  Dago  to  do  this  better  than  I  could  for  a  few  dollars  a  day 
and  it  will  cost  me  more  than  that  to  get  fixed  up  after  this  mess." 

But  for  the  majority  of  the  men  it  was  the  first  real  entrance  into  the 
hardships  of  war.  Many  had  been  engaged  at  home  in  sedentary  occupations 
and  the  terrific  change  had  been  a  real  test  and  the  way  the  men  stood  up  to  it 
was  a  foretaste  of  the  way  thousands  of  them  stood  up  to  the  eventual  gruelling 
test  in  the  front  lines  of  the  Argonne. 

There  were  a  lot  of  things  that  came  out  of  the  trenches  besides  mud 
and  weary  men  at  the  close  of  that  week.  One  was  poetry.  Listen  to  this: 
of  the  Fifteenth  Company,   2nd  Regiment: 

"Who  is  this  guy  whose  last  name  is  Day,  _ 

And  where  in  h 1  did  he  come  from? 

He's  big  and  strong  and  tall,   they  say, 
And  wears  a  considerable  'tum-tum. 

He  is  the  feller  who  walks  along  the  top. 
While  we're  digging  below  in  the  mud. 
And  shouts  out  his  orders  with  not  a  stop. 
In  tones  that  fair  thrills  your  blood. 

It  may  be,  at  heart,  he's  a  regular  guy. 

But  he'll  have  to  prove  it  to  us, 

'Cause  since  he's  been  running  along  there  in  high, 

He's  done  nothing  but  make  us  all  cuss. 

An  event  of  unusual  interest  after  the  work  in  the  trenches  was  the  arrival 
of  Colonel  Theodore  Roosevelt.  The  famous  Roosevelt  smile  illuminated 
his  face  as  he  greeted  the  representatives  of  the  Camp  at  the  station. 

He  was  escorted  through  the  Camp  and  then  inspected  the  trenches. 
He  exhibited  a  great  interest  in  every  detail  of  construction  and  asked  many 
questions  of  the  officers  who  conducted   him. 

Standing  on  the  brink  of  the  gully  and  looking  over  toward  the  lake,  he 
gave  utterance  to  one  of  his  explosive  thoughts: 

"What  we  need,"  he  said,  "is  a  hydraulic  engineer  at  work  in  Northern 
France.  How  easy  it  would  be  to  take  the  water  from  the  coast  and  transfer 
it  over  to  the  German  trenches  and  force  them  out  by  hydraulic  pressure.' 

Some  who  had  seen  water  at  work  during  the  previous  week  realized  that 
there  was  something  more  than  humor  in  his  suggestion. 

After  a  thorough  inspection,  he  was  escorted  to  the  parade  ground, 
where  a  large  reviewing  stand  had  been  erected.  The  band  began  playing, 
the  candidate  officers  passed  in  review.  At  the  conclusion  the  men  advanced 
in  mass  formation  and  stood  at  attention  while  he  addressed  them. 


THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 


357 


He  stood  there  that  day  the  living  embodiment  of  American  valor.  A 
real  fighting  man,  still  affected  by  the  refusal  of  the  War  Department  to  let 
him  go  to  France  with  a  fighting  division,  he  referred  to  this  early  in  his 
remarks  when  he  said: 

For  us,  this  opportunity  is  denied ;  the  supreme  privilege  is  yours. 
It  is  our  duty  to  back  up  at  home  the  fighting  men  at  the  front  in  every 
way  we  can.  It  is  our  duty  to  keep  the  spirit  alive  and  burning  and  vic- 
tory v/ill  come  speedily,  and.  Lord,  men,  how  1  wish  I  were  going 
w^ith  you ! 

Every  man  feels  that  the  war  should  go  on  and  once  for  all  remove 
the  menace  of  Prussianism  and  the  iron  and  bloody  rule  of  the  Hohen- 
zollerns  forever.  Yours  is  the  honor  of  going.  You  will  not  have  to 
explain  to  your  children  why  you  did  not  go  to  war.  This  is  the  great 
chance.  Be  equal  to  it.  You  are  the  flower  of  our  country  chosen  for 
this  great  task.      It  is  a  great  opportunity  and  a  great  responsibility. 

The  British  and  French  are  fighting  our  battles  and  we  are  their 
debtors.  Your  duty  is  to  go  forth  as  missionaries,  and  when  you  have 
awakened  this  country  from  its  lazy,  opulent  slumber,  see  that  you  keep 
it  awake  forever.  See  that  we  are  never  again  put  in  the  position  we 
are  now,  of  vast,  lazy  strength  unmobilized.  The  men  of  France  and 
England  are  protecting  us  with  their  bodies.  Let  us,  here,  in  the  first 
place  make  America  safe.  We  owe  a  big  debt  to  the  Allies  in  this  war, 
and  I  say  again,  be  missionaries,  so  that  never  again  shall  we  be  so  help- 
less to  defend  our  honor.  Never  again  should  we  owe  our  safety  to  the 
blood  of  others.  The  one  step  for  our  protection  is  universal  obligatory 
military  training  for  all  our  young  men. 


MARTIN  DELANEY  COACHING  RIGHT  AND  LEFT  JABS

THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 


EVERY  ONE  GOT  A  PUNCH 

It  is  significant  that  vv^ith  the  coming  of  Roosevelt  there  should  also  come 
the  period  of  "boxing.  "  The  introduction  of  mass  boxing  at  Fort  Sheridan 
for  the  first  time  in  any  large  way  in  any  American  Army  camp  paved  the 
way  for  its  larger  use  throughout  the  whole  army. 

After  a  conference  between  Colonel  Ryan,  Major  Bach  and  others,  the 
Commanding  Officer  purchased  two  hundred  sets  of  gloves,  secured  the  serv- 
ices of  Martin  Delaney,  Athletic  Director  of  the  Chicago  Athletic  Club,  and 
gave  orders  that  for  three  weeks  every  company  in  the  Camp  was  to  report 
daily  for  boxing  practice. 

It  looked  mild.  It  seemed  like  a  soft  game,  the  first  morning  the  com- 
panies marched  out  and  surrounded  the  reviewing  stand.  Some  smiled  and 
anticipated  a  restful  lark.  Then  a  man  stood  on  the  stand  and  began  to 
walk  around,  leaning  over  the  protecting  rail.  He  talked  and  gesticulated  in 
in  such  a  way  that  the  men  knew  he  was  there  for  business.  Then  four  boys 
from  the  Great  Lakes  Training  Station  took  their  places  on  the  stand — pro- 
fessionals who  knew  the  game,  both  of  them.  They  went  through  some  simple 
maneuvers — then  there  was  a  rush  of  gloves.  The  stand  was  surrounded  on 
four  sides  by  men  who  looked  like  boxers.  They  were  paired  off.  These 
were  made  to  follow  the  simple  movements  of  the  boxers.  Oh,  my! — who 
doesn't  remember  what  happened?  Delaney  let  the  rookies  take  the  lid  off 
and  every  man  seemed  to  think  that  he  was  fighting  in  France.  Did  they 
go    after   each    other.       We'll    say    they    did.       Black    eyes,    broken    noses    and 


THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 359 

cracked  ribs.  Husky  six-footers  from  first  squads,  unfamiliar  with  boxing, 
taking  their  medicine  from  light  little  fellows  from  the  last  squad.  All  in  a 
good  spirit,  developing  faster  footw^ork,  quickness  of  eye  and  the  habit  of 
personal  encounter. 

For  three  weeks  this  continued,  each  man  in  the  Camp  having  fifteen 
minutes  a  day  practice  in  the  field  and  additional  time  as  they  w^ere  able  in 
the  barracks.  At  the  close  of  the  course  the  improvement  was  marked,  and 
many  of  the  men  handled  themselves  like  veterans. 

Fort  Sheridan  men  of  the  Second  Camp  will  not  forget  Martin  Delaney 
w^ith  his  w^holesome  smile,  his  w^inning  style  and  his  w^alloping  punch,  and  the 
army  as  a  whole  w^as  the  gainer  by  the  successful  course  w^hich  was  early 
introduced  in  the  training  system. 

Numerous  speakers  came  to  Fort  Sheridan,  each  bringing  a  message  of 
interest.  Samuel  Insull  spoke  of  the  qualities  necessary  for  leadership.  Ser- 
geant William  Dugan,  formerly  of  the  Foreign  Legion,  and  at  the  time  a 
member  of  the  La  Fayette  Escadrille,  told  of  his  experiences  as  an  American 
boy  in  the  famous  French  flying  unit.  T.  P.  O'Connor  and  others  spoke 
from  time  to  time. 

The  daily  routine  of  w^ork,  taking  in  every  hour  of  the  day,  increased 
in  intensity  as  the  man  became  hardened  to  it.  Physical  and  bayonet  drills, 
pistol  and  rifle  practice,  conference  and  studies,  follow^ed  each  other  with 
ceaseless  regularity. 

The  companies  were  becoming  more  proficient  in  drill.  They  were 
developing  that  pride  and  esprit  de  corps  w^hich  makes  competition  between 
the  groups  helpful  and  progressive.  The  men  were  becoming  better  neigh- 
bors. Real  friendships  and  interesting  acquaintances  w^hich  w^ould  outlast 
the  war  w^ere  being  formed. 

A  report  from  one  of  the  companies  when  the  Camp  w^as  a  month  old 
w^as  typical  of  the  Camp  as  a  whole.  It  is  reproduced  exactly  as  it  appeared 
in  "The  Reveille,  "  because  it  show^s  how  many  different  kinds  of  men  went 
to  make  up  a  company: 

From  clergyman  to  bookkeeper  in  a  shooting  gallery  are  over  70 
occupations  stringing  out  in  either  column  or  line  formation.  Men  w^ho 
never  performed  harder  labor  than  winding  a  Victrola  are  in  the  same 
squad  with  instructors  of  athletics.  One  civilian  is  attached  to  the  com- 
pany, William  J.  Ryan,  clerk,  and  his  ambition  is  to  take  on  enough 
weight  to  fill  an  O.   D.  blouse. 

Charles  E.  Davanon  is  top  sergeant  and  is  the  real  goods.  He 
doesn  t  give  a  continental  care  whether  Cleopatra  was  a  real  nice  lady 
or  not;  he  is  interested  only  in  the  strict  discipline  of  his  company. 

George  O.  Beebe  is  the  only  Regular  Army  man  on  our  roster. 
Five  in  the  company  are  enlisted  men  in  the  National  Guard.  They  are: 
Leslie  F.  Eggert,  Homer  A.  Goddard,  Raymond  O.  Staten,  Noble  W. 
White  and  Stephen  C.   Williams. 

Thomas  E.  Hefferan,  until  a  few  weeks  before  the  opening  of  this 
Camp,  was  a  member  of  the  American  Ambulance  Service  in  France. 

Alfred  D.  Allen  is  the  manager  of  the  Leland  Hotel  of  Springfield,

Otto  A.  Birr.  Waldo  H.  Drake,  Eugene  Selleck,  Warren  M.  Nutter  and 
Arnold  E.  Heeter  are  instructors  in  various  educational  institutions.  If 
it  is  more  blessed  to  give  than  to  receive  surely  they  enjoy  an  enviable 
state  of  pleasure. 

George  W.  Trickey  was  the  State  of  Michigan  Commander  of 
Spanish-American  War  Veterans  and  is  the  purveyor  of  good  cheer  in 
the  barracks.  Sidney  J.  V.  Bovey  is  a  member  of  the  Veteran  Corps, 
1st  Regiment,  I.  N.  G.  Rowland  P.  Manuel  is  a  professor  of  music,  and

Charles  E.  Turner  was  the  sergeant  in  charge  of  equipment  during 
the  first  week  of  Camp,  and  his  genial  manners  made  many  a  candidate 
feel  more  at  home  than  w^ould  be  possible  to  w^ere  a  less  pleasant  or 
capable  man  in  charge. 

Michael  Callahan  dispatches  trains,  Orville  Bunnell  advertises  good 
show^s,  William  F.  Conner  is  the  able  secretary  of  the  Commercial  Club

THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 363 

Nelson  P.  Parkinson  and  Murray  C.  Wilson  are  a  team  of  good 
fellows  that  contribute  much  to  the  feeling  of  good  fellowship  that  per- 
meates the  company  barracks. 

A  company  like  this  could  not  be  without  insurance  men.  Like  the 
devil,  they  are  alw^ays  with  us:  Charles  P.  Shaw,  Frank  D.  Henry, 
Harold  J.  Payette  and  Richard  M.  Lewis  look  after  the  fire  risks;  Robert 
Johnson  specilizes  in  life. 

The  worst,  however,  is  yet  to  come.  We  have  newspaper  men  here 
and  they  are  in  the  open;  no  camouflage  in  the  make-up.  Norman  W. 
Gregg  is  an  editor,  Donald  G.   Heinly  is  with  a  trade  journal. 

In  the  summer  the  activities  of  the  Camp  were  interspersed  by  the  coming 
and  going  of  friends.  Many  of  the  men's  families  came  from  distances  to  stay 
in  surrounding  towns.  Every  evening  at  five  the  company  streets  would  be 
filled  with  sight-seers  and  from  five  to  seven-thirty  there  was  a  constant  coming 
and  going  of  mothers,  wives  and  others;  and  on  Sunday  nights  the  roads 
would  be  crow^ded  with  cars  bringing  the  men  back  before  taps  sounded. 

Much  of  this  disappeared  at  the  Second  Camp.  The  w^eather  was  raw 
and  cold.  Great  numbers  of  the  men  came  from  long  distances.  Sixty  per 
cent  were  married  men  with  families.  Much  of  the  social  life  so  prominent  in 
the  First  Camp  was  absent.  But  not  the  good  times,  which  will  always  be 
mingled  in  the  minds  of  the  officer  students  with  the  intensive  training  and 
hard  work. 

There  was  the  Charity  Ball,  the  proceeds  of  which  went  to  army  relief. 
The  gymnasium  wouldn't  hold  the  great  crowds  that  came.  It  was  the  first 
military  ball  for  most  of  the  men  and  one  that  will  linger  a  long  time  in  the 
memory  of  all  there. 

There  was  the  trip  to  the  World  Series  in  Chicago.  Just  as  soon  as  it 
was  evident  that  the  White  Sox  would  win  the  American  League  champion- 
ship, a  wire  went  from  Fort  Sheridan  to  the  National  Baseball  Commission 
requesting  that  2,500  tickets  be  set  aside  for  the  men  w^ho  were  in  training. 
Soon  an  answer  came  back  that  1,500  had  been  reserved.  These  1,500  w^ere 
divided  between  the  thirty  companies.  And  each  company  drew  to  see  what 
men  should  go.  The  result  was  that  there  were  1,500  successful  contestants. 
Leave  w^as  given  for  the  day.  Special  cars  conveyed  the  men  to  the  grounds. 
Colonel  Ryan  and  Staff  attending.  Long  before  the  game  began  they  were 
all  seated  in  the  right  field  balcony  and  the  game  was  on.  For  many  it  was 
the  first  World  Series  game.  It  was  a  good  one,  well  played,  and  resulted 
in  a  win  for  the  West  and  the  White  Sox. 

To  some  unfamiliar  with  the  work  that  was  done  and  had  to  be  done 
daily,  these  occasional  excursions  seemed  to  be  somewhat  outside  the  prepara- 
tions for  w^ar — but  to  those  who  had  in  mind  well-rounded,  good-spirited, 
physically-fit  leaders  for  the  National  Army,  they  all  played  their  part. 

There  was  always  a  deep  earnestness  about  the  work  done  and  the  plans 
and  thoughts  for  the  future,  but  an  entire  absence  of  drab  and  pessimistic  or 
unnatural  attitude  toward  life.  It  was  the  studied  effort  of  those  who  were 
responsible  for  the  morale  of  the  Camp  to  see  that  there  was  a  proper  balanc- 
ing of  w^ork  and  recreation,  so  that  the  best  results  of  the  work  might  be 
alw^ays  kept  to  the  front. 


364  THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

In  this  connection  nothing  was  more  interesting  to  the  former  civilian 
than  the  part  that  "Rumors"  play  in  army  life.  The  newcomer  in  the  army 
is  quickly  shut  off  from  the  matters  which  interested  him  before.  Sometimes 
he  will  go  for  weeks  without  reading  papers  carefully  and  what  he  reads  is 
of  little  interest.  His  mind  narrows  down  to  the  confines  of  the  Camp,  the 
doings  in  the  company,  and  to  insignificant  matters  that  he  would  have  smiled 
at  weeks  before. 

Corporal  H  meets  Private  A  while  they  are  shaving  in  the  w^ashroom. 
"The  Colonel  called  the  Captain  to  Headquarters,"  says  the  Corporal. 
"What's  doing?"  says  the  Private.  "I  hear  they  are  only  going  to  commission 
20  per  cent  of  the  men  from  each  company,"  says  the  Corporal.  Then  the 
rumor  gets  busy,  runs  up  and  down  the  barracks,  across  the  company  street, 
and  finally  gets  down  to  headquarters  a  huge-sized  tornado,  with  Corporal  H 
and  Private  A  oblivous  of  the  storm.  Then  the  Commanding  Officer  nails 
that  one. 

Private  X,  in  a  fit  of  anger  because  some  one  sat  on  his  bunk,  messed  it 
up  and  brought  him  a  reprimand,  swears  in  German,  forgetting  for  the  time 
being  how  hard  he  has  tried  to  keep  the  fact  that  his  ancestors  were  Germans 
in  the  background.  That  was  enough.  Private  Y  starts  "old  rumor"  a-going 
that  there  are  German  spies  in  the  companies.  Some  one  sees  a  man  who 
looks  like  Private  X  being  taken  away  from  the  guardhouse  to  Chicago  by; 
the  military  police.  Another  finds  that  there  is  a  small  amount  of  dynamite 
laid  away  in  the  Arsenal  and  "Rumor"  is  off  again  with  a  "wholesale  con- 
spiracy of  German  spies  to  blow  up  the  Camp,  and  a  wonderful  capture  by 
the  army  intelligence  department." 

Here  is  a  series  of  conflicting  rumors  from  one  mess  hall  on  the  subject 
of  commissions  and  the  time  the  Camp  would  close — a  favorite  subject  of 
conversation  and  the  parent  of  prolific  rumors: 

(a)  That  the  Camp  will  be  over  November  7th. 

(b)  That  the  Camp  will  be  over  October  2  7th. 

(c)  That  the  Camp  will  be  over  November  2  7th. 

(d)  That  those  commissioned  will  receive  six  week's  more  training 
at  Fort  Sheridan. 

(e)  That  very  few  will  be  commissioned. 

(f)  That  most  of  the  candidates  will  be  commissioned. 

(g)  That  those  commissioned  will  be  rushed  to  France. 

(h)    That  practically  none  of  those  commissioned  will  get  to  France 
in  less  than  six  months. 

(i)    And  other  reports. 

Some  less  serious  and  more  interesting  are  starting  all  the  time.  Men 
are  sitting  on  the  edges  of  their  bunks  with  staring  eyes,  listening  to  each 
new  report.  It  is  the  life — and  twice  welcome  the  man  who  can  bring  some 
word  from  overhead  that  will  give  them  a  chance  to  build  a  new  one.  Who 
cares  or  remembers  that  nine  out  of  ten  are  without  sense  and  never  come 
true?  They  gave  a  sensation  greater  than  a  murder,  a  cyclone  or  a  mighty 
victory  in  France,  because  they  ran  right  into  the  place  where  the  men  lived.

THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP  365 

No  one  will  ever  know,  unless  they  were  in  it,  how  quickly  and  utterly  the 
men  who  were  in  training  were  cut  off  from  the  civil  life  with  which  they  had 
lately  been  so  familiar. 

Just  to  show  what  the  Second  Fort  Sheridan  Camp  could  do  m  the  way 
of  selling  bonds.  Colonel  Ryan  called  together  representatives  from  each 
regiment  with  the  following  result:  The  First  Regiment  sold  $1,108,100,  the 
Second  $526,250,  and  the  Third  $3,02  7,700,  making  a  total  sale  of 
$4,700,000  for  the  Camp,  or  three  times  as  much  as  any  army  camp  or  can- 
tonment in  America. 

The  schedule  for  the  seventh  week,  when  the  w^ork  was  practically  half

THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 371 

A  welcome  visitor  to  both  Fort  Sheridan  Camps  was  Frank  O.  Lowden, 
war  Governor  of  IIHnois.  His  words  were  alw^ays  Ustened  to  w^ith  great  respect 
and  appreciation.  They  were  strengthened  by  an  obvious  interest  and  sin- 
cerity that  carried  the  message  home.  On  the  occasion  of  a  review  in  his 
honor,  he  said: 

You  go  to  fight  against  the  idea  which  would  hold  the  individual  to 
no  moral  obligation,  which  would  absolve  the  state  from  every  considera- 
tion of  truth  or  justice  or  equity.  And  the  President  is  right  w^hen  he  says 
that  no  peace  can  be  made  w^ith  those  who  openly  have  said  that  a  treaty 
is  only  a  scrap  of  paper  and  that  any  state  has  a  right  secretly  to  withdraw 
from  any  obligation  it  has  incurred  to  any  other  country. 

I  don't  know  when  I  have  looked  on  such  an  inspiring  scene  as  this. 
I  was  here  in  June  and  July  and  witnessed  your  predecessors  of  the  First 
Camp  and  was  thrilled  then  with  what  I  saw.  But  today,  looking  into 
your  faces,  having  learned  of  the  tremendous  w^ork  you  are  doing,  having 
learned  of  the  patriotic  purpose  which  has  inspired  you,  I  feel  a  new  hope 
for  the  future  of  our  country. 

I  have  no  doubt  that  when  the  war  is  over,  w^ith  the  lessons  we  shall 
have  learned,  with  the  training  which  w^e  were  without,  but  which,  I 
hope,  we  will  be  w^ise  enough  to  continue  to  the  remotest  day,  we  will 
have  a  new^  and  better  country,  a  deeper  sense  of  brotherhood.  We  w^ill 
be  tenderer  of  the  right  of  the  common  man  than  ever  before,  and  out  of 
the  heroism  which  you  are  exhibiting,  out  of  all  the  tears  that  alw^ays 
attend  a  war,  will  come  a  greater,  a  better  and  a  kindlier  republic,  and 
humanity  forevermore  will  be  indebted  to  you. 

On  other  occasions  Governor  Sleeper  of  Michigan,  Governor  Phillips  of 
Wisconsin  and  Governor  Capper  of  Kansas  were  present  and  spoke  to  the 
student  officers.  Many  other  notables  came  out  to  visit  the  Camp.  General 
Alvarado  Obregon,  conqueror  of  Pancho  Villa  at  the  battle  of  Celago  and 
one  of  the  foremost  soldiers  of  Mexico,  w^as  the  guest  of  Colonel  Ryan. 

In  the  company  of  Colonel  Ryan,  w^ho  is  a  personal  friend  of  General 
Obregon,  the  Mexican  chieftain  spent  several  hours  reviewing  the  drills  and 
inspecting  cantonments  and  trenches.  He  constantly  expressed  his  delight  and 
astonishment  at  the  progress  made  by  the  rookies. 

No  one  who  ever  saw  Federal  Judge  Kenesaw^  Landis  at  Fort  Sheridan 
will  forget  it.  His  son.  Reed  Landis,  entered  the  First  Camp  and  was  trans- 
ferred with  others  to  the  aviation  section,  where  he  made  a  reputation  of 
which  every  Fort  Sheridan  man  is  proud.  Judge  Landis  got  down  to  brass 
tacks  immediately,  just  as  he  does  in  his  court.  He  was  not  satisfied  to  look 
on.  He  went  through  the  communicating  trenches,  ignored  the  mud,  climbed 
over  obstacles  and  investigated  lookout  stations  and  dugouts  and  saw  things 
as  they  were.  He  had  a  word  of  kindly  interest  for  all.  Just  wanted  to  be 
one  of  the  men  and  to  get  into  the  game. 

A  notable  group  of  Chicago  men  were  constant  visitors  to  Fort  Sheridan 
and  did  much  to  help  make  the  Camp  a  success.  Among  them  may  be  named 
Samuel  Insull,  Chairman  State  Council  of  Defense;  Charles  Wacker,  Col.  H. 
M.  Byllesby,  Roger  Sullivan,  John  P.  Hopkins,  H.  H.  Merrick,  Frederick  W. 
Upham,  Arthur  Meeker,  John  P.  Stockton  and  Samuel  Hastings. 


372 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION _^ 

These  men,  with  others  from  Lake  Forest,  Highland  Park  and  surround- 
ing towns  were  not  merely  casual  visitors  but  backed  up  every  effort  that 
needed  help  from  outside  the  Camp  to  make  it  successful. 

The  Commanding  Officer  and  all  the  students  at  Fort  Sheridan  will  re- 
member the  splendid  paper  published  by  Mr.  Lew  Merrill  and  his  partners 
under  the  name  of  the  Reveille.  This  paper  appeared  w^eekly  and  w^as  full  of 
good  illustrations,  fine  selections  of  material  and  attractive  articles  which 
invariably  added  to  the  interest  and  training  of  the  men.  There  were  never 
enough  to  supply  the  big  demand  and  eagerness  to  get  the  paper  increased  as 
the  Camp  went  on.  Mr.  Merrill  preserved  a  great  many  of  the  records  of  the 
Camp  in  the  Reveille  w^hich  have  been  largely  used  in  this  article. 

In  the  eighth  week  the  rookies  repeated  their  war  game  in  the  trenches. 
The  question  as  to  w^hich  army  was  finally  victorious  w^ill  probably  be  a  subject 
for  student  argument  as  long  as  the  Camp  is  remembered. 

The  following  account  appeared  in  the  Reveille: 

Exact  battle  conditions,  as  they  exist  on  the  Western  Front,  have 
been  reproduced  as  faithfully  as  possible  and  the  rifle  fire,  coupled  with 
the  salvos  of  the  batteries  delivering  their  barrage  fire,  has  kept  up  con- 
tinuously night  and  day. 

Each  company  was  in  the  trenches  for  thirty-six  hours  at  a  stretch, 
eating,  sleeping  and  living  exactly  as  they  expect  to  live  later  on  in  the 
European  battlefields. 

At  1  1  o'clock  every  night,  G.  M.  Martin  and  his  staff  of  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
w^orkers,  carried  cans  of  steaming  coffee  and  sandwiches  through  the 
w^inding  communicating  trenches  to  the  dugouts  and  shelters  and  w^ere 
welcomed  with  subdued  shouts  of  joy  by  the  men  w^ho  had  been  so  val- 
iantly defending  their  respective  positions. 

There  was  little  chance  for  sleep  during  the  thirty-six  hour  periods 
that  the  men  v/ere  in  the  trenches.  Amid  the  crash  and  roar  of  artillery 
and  the  fusillade  of  rifle  shots  every  man  was  on  the  alert.  The  w^ide 
expanse  of  No  Man's  Land  at  night  was  lit  up  by  the  fitful  radiance  of  the 
flares  and  the  red  and  white  rockets  which  were  signals  for  barrage  fire 
to  break  up  attacking  raids. 

In  conformity  with  the  plans  of  Colonel  Ryan,  Major  Cromwell 
Stacey,  senior  instructor,  who  personally  spent  the  nights  in  observation, 
no  detail  w^as  omitted  to  make  it  a  real  war  game  for  the  candidate 
officers. 

The  grim  determination  of  the  men  and  their  alertness  in  the  face 
of  driving  rains  and  raw^  night  winds  excited  the  admiration  of  their 
commanders. 

"The  work  this  w^eek  was  marked  by  steady  improvement,  '  said 
Colonel  Ryan  yesterday.  'The  first  night  the  men  w^ere  not  so  keen, 
but  there  w^as  steady  progress  noted  throughout  the  succeeding  days. 
The  failure  of  the  attacks  to  reach  the  first  line  Wednesday  night  was  due 
to  the  keenness  of  the  sentinels,  the  excellent  work  of  standing  patrols  and 
the  perfect  system  of  communicating  signals  which  enabled  a  barrage  fire 
to  be  delivered  in  one  minute  and  reinforcements  to  be  supplied  im- 
mediately. 

"The  earnestness  of  the  men,  shown  in  carrying  out  the  work  in  the 
trenches  is  another  manifestation  of  the  zeal  and  determination  which 
permeates  this  Second  Officers'  Training  Camp.  The  showing  that  the 
men  made  during  the  week  proved  very  gratifying  to  me.  " 


THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 373 

"The  men  deployed  in  good  shape  and  came  up  in  good  shape," 
said  Major  Stacey,  senior  instructor.  "There  has  been  marked  improve- 
ment all  the  way  through,  especially  in  patrolling.  The  men  have  learned 
the  value  of  silence,  both  in  patrolling  and  defense  work.  The  relief  of 
the  trenches  was  carried  out  without  a  hitch  and  it  is  the  intention  of  the 
instructors  that  they  will  get  the  same  movement  during  the  twelfth  week 
at  midnight,  instead  of  at   12  noon,  as  was  the  case  last  week. 

"The  men  are  getting  a  very  good  idea  of  trench  duties  and  above 
all  are  learning  to  take  care  of  themselves. 

"This  trench  week  has  been  very  instructive  to  the  men  and 
splendid  progress  has  been  shown  all  along  the  line. 

One  incident  of  special  interest  was  the  coup  executed  Monday  night 
by  Captain  James  Woolnough  of  the  Illinois  battalion. 

Penetrating  dense  thickets  in  the  murk  long  before  dawn,  he  ad- 
vanced his  companies  right  up  to  Michigan's  barbed  wire  and  dug  kneel- 
ing shelter.  Two  hours  elapsed  before  the  defenders  of  Fort  Sheridan's 
trenches  knew  what  had  happened,  but  by  that  time  Woolnough  was  so 
strongly  established  that  he  was  secure  against  everything  but  very  accu- 
rate barrage  fire. 

If  supported,  these  trenches  could  be  strengthened  so  as  to  make 
them  impossible  of  capture.  From  them  a  deadly  assault  could  be 
launched. 

Major  Cromwell  Stacey,  senior  instructor,  was  so  enthusiastic  about 
what  the  Illinois  captain  and  his  companies  had  done  that,  when  they 
marched  back  to  the  huts  during  an  armistice,  he  repeatedly  yelled  to 
them,   "Bully  work,  men;  bully  work.  " 

Michigan's  forces,  under  command  of  Captain  R.  G.  Peck,  "colonel  " 
for  the  night,  took  over  the  five  miles  of  trenches  at  seven  in  the  evening. 
By  10:45  patrols  of  Major  Farrand  of  the  Michigan  regiment  discovered 
Captain  Woolnough's  camp  600  yards  to  the  southward.  Colonel  Peck 
ordered  Captain  James  P.  Marley  to  drive  him  out  with  artillery. 

All  over  the  North  Shore  the  bombardment  could  be  heard.  Umpire 
Lawrence  Martin  then  proceeded  to  Woolnough's  forces  and  told  them 
they  would  have  to  evacuate.  But  instead  of  going  backward,  Wool- 
nough bided  his  time  and  crept  forward,  capturing  all  Michigan  patrols 
that  might  reveal  his  maneuver.  Then  he  dug  in  seventy-five  yards  in 
front  of  Michigan's  line. 

Woolnough  had  done  so  well  that  Chief  Umpire  Stacey  decreed 
that  he  might  have  four  more  companies  to  support  him  shortly  after 
3  a.  m.  Companies  17,  18,  19  and  20  were  routed  out  of  their  barracks 
and,  with  full  pack  and  under  command  of  Captain  X.  F.  Blauvelt,  they 
detoured  around  Michigan's  w^est  flank. 

Dawn  found  the  support  driving  off  a  wave  of  two  companies  that 
Colonel  Peck  had  sent  over  the  top. 

Woolnough  had  scored  heavily.  "In  the  early  part  of  the  night 
patrolling  on  both  sides  w^as  excellent,"  said  Major  Stacey. 

"From  midnight  on  up  until  4  o'clock  the  patrolling  of  the  Michigan 
forces  fell  off  in  efficiency.  This  enabled  Illinois  soldiers  to  creep  through 
th,e  bushes  and  intrench  unmolested  for  two  hours  before  they  were  posi- 
tively reported. 

"Small  Michigan  patrols  sent  out  to  investigate  were  captured  by 
Illinois.  Consequently  the  information  that  the  Illinois  battalion  under 
Captain  Woolnough  was  only  I  00  yards  in  front  of  the  trenches  digging 
in  was  not  known  until  3  a.  m.,  at  which  time  Captain  Woolnough  had 
sufficient  cover  to  hold  his  position. 


THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 375 

"The  organization  of  the  Michigan  position,  trench  duties,  Hasion 
between  the  infantry  and  artillery  barrage  fire,  the  telephone  system, 
claims  of  runners  and  signal  rockets  were  managed  so  efficiently  that  little 
w^as  left  to  be  desired.' 

On  Tuesday  they  had  maneuvered  through  the  night  as  troops  of 
the  State  of  Michigan,  w^hich  is  at  war  with  the  State  of  Illinois.  The 
heavy  rain  flooded  boyaux,  traverses  and  dugouts  and  parades  and  para- 
pet exuded  a  slimy  ooze. 

Under  command  of  Captain  J.  J.  Wuest,  acting  as  colonel  for  the 
night,  Michigan's  forces  defended  the  trenches  against  the  operations  of 
hostile  Illinois  battalions  in  charge  of  Captain  W.  C.  F.  Nicholson.  Ad- 
vancing from  Evanston,  Captain  Nicholson  bivouacked  at  Highwood. 

Patrols  from  both  sides  occasionally  met  in  sharp  contact.  After 
making  a  demonstration  on  Michigan's  left  flank.  Captain  Nicholson, 
w^ith  Companies  12,  21,  22  and  23,  rushed  the  trenches  on  Michigan's 
right  and  center.  Michigan  sentries  gave  the  signal  for  barrage  from 
Captain  Marley's  batteries.  In  two  minutes  the  guns  began  to  roar,  but 
in  that  interval  three  of  Nicholson's  companies  managed  to  seize  a  sector 
of  Michigan  s  front  line. 

Major  Farrand,  in  Michigan's  second  line  trenches,  ordered  a  coun- 
ter charge  over  the  top  and  Nicholson  w^as  dislodged.  Then  Colonel 
Wuest  ordered  the  artillery  to  sweep  the  entire  front  and  Illinois  was 
routed. 

"Captain  Nicholson's  approach  from  Highwood  was  well  managed," 
said  Colonel  Ryan,  who  was  an  all-night  spectator.  'The  momentary 
occupation  of  the  Michigan  front  line  by  Captain  Nicholson  was  made 
possible  because  of  a  single  barbed  w^ire  entanglement.  Entanglements 
would  not  have  been  crossed  so  easily  if  actual  war  conditions  existed. 

"The  lesson  here  is  that  no  enemy  could  have  gotten  in  under  real 
war  conditions,  and  one  notable  thing  that  developed  in  the  repulsion  of 
Nicholson's  troops  was  the  charge  over  the  top.  That  showed  very  good 
tactical  judgment,  as  Major  Farrand's  action  enabled  him  quickly  to 
move  a  large  force  which  could  not  have  been  done  if  the  troops  had 
been  sent  forward  through  the  trenches.  " 

Real  music,  the  best  in  the  country,  was  brought  to  Fort  Sheridan.  It 
had  to  be  good,  for  there  w^ere  hundreds  of  rookies  there  w^ho,  as  producers, 
artists  and  critics,   could  maintain   highest  standards. 

The  first  big  musicale  was  given  by  the  Paulist  Choir,  Father  Flynn  con- 
ducting. This  great  chorus  with  its  international  reputation,  sang  one  Sunday 
night  to  a  crowded  gymnasium  full  of  student  officers. 

Those  who  were  there  will  not  forget  either  the  beautiful  singing  or  the 
close  appreciative  attention  of  the  audience.  Somehow  music  seemed  to  have 
a  big  place  in  men's  emotions  those  days.  Someone  versed  in  national  psy- 
chology will  explain  why  war  and  music  seem  to  be  so  close  in  their  inter- 
dependence. 

Both  those  who  sang  and  those  who  listened  seemed  to  feel  music  with 

a   new   forcefulness.       Perhaps   it    filled    some    lonely   places    in    their    hearts 

perhaps  it  soothed   emotions  that  had   been   overstrained   or  satisfied    feelings 
w^hich  could  not  be  spoken  in  words. 

At  least  those  black  vestments  of  this  w^onderful  chorus the  sweet  voices 

of  the  boys  and  the  strong  voices  of  the  men  made  a  deep  impression  upon

those  hundreds  of  upturned  faces,  with  the  dull  brown  of  the  khaki  as  a  back- 
ground. Those  who  had  seen  them  at  the  boxing  and  bayonet  practice  and 
who  might  later  see  some  of  these  men  in  the  trenches  in  France  could  say 
truly,   "Music  hath  charms  to  soothe  the  savage  breast.  " 

Later  the  Chicago  Symphony  Orchestra  came  for  an  evening.  The  stage 
was  enlarged — several  truck  loads  of  instruments  w^ere  brought  to  Fort  Sheri- 
dan. When  the  doors  of  the  Gymnasium  were  opened  that  Sunday  evening  at 
6  P.  M.  the  hall  was  soon  crowded  and  then,  by  an  arrangement  with  the 
orchestra,  those  w^ho  could  not  get  in  at  the  first  concert  w^ere  given  a  chance 
to  hear  several  numbers  afterw^ard. 

No  one  w^ill  forget  the  wonderful  music  that  night.  Clyde  M.  Carr,  the 
president  of  the  Association;  Mr.  Frederick  J.  Wessels,  the  manager,  and  Mr. 
Frederick  Stock,  the  conductor,  as  well  as  hundreds  of  old  friends,  said  they 
never  heard  the  orchestra  play  as  it  did  that  night.  The  audience  was  carried 
away  by  the  music  and  the  musicians  were  lifted  out  of  the  mechanical  by  the 
appreciation  of  their  audience. 

The  f  ollow^ing  program  was  rendered : 

1.  Overture  to   "Rienzi",  Wagner. 

2.  Andante  molto  moto  (By  the  Brook),  from  Symphony,  "Pas- 
torale', Beethoven. 

3.  Meditation  from  "Thais",  Massenet.  (Violin  obligato  by  Mr. 
Harry  Weisbach.) 

4.  Capriccio  Espagnol,  Opus  34,  Rimsky-Korsakow;  Alborada, 
Variations,  Alborada,  Scene  and  Gypsy  Song,  Fandango  of  the 
Asturias.       (Played  without  pause.) 

5.  Berceuse  from  "Jocelyn"  Suite,  Godard.  (Violincello  obligato 
by  Mr.  Bruno  Steindel. 

6.  Concert  Waltz  No.    I ,  Flazounow^. 

7.  Marche,    "Slave",  Tschaikowsky. 

At  the  close  Mr.  Stock  turned  to  the  audience  and  said,  "Now  1  will  show 
you  how  we  can  play  the  American  airs."      And  they  played. 

Such  cheering.  Time  after  time  the  audience  rose  to  its  feet,  but  no 
matter  how  loud  the  cheering,  the  mighty  swing  of  the  music  carried  above  it 
all,  and  when  the  last  note  died  out  and  the  conductor  turned  and  bowed,  men 
realized  that  probably  never  again  would  they  hear  such  music  or  such  enthu- 
siasm combined  under  such  circumstances  throughout  all   their  lives. 

What  value  has  this  in  the  training  of  soldiers?  A  value  so  great  that  in 
the  near  future  the  entire  army  adopted  these  methods,  and  spent  millions  of 
dollars  to  provide  the  best  in  order  that  they  might  keep  the  minds  and  spirits 
strong  for  the  gruelling  tests  and  the  tiresome  watches  that  weakens  men's 
force  for  leadership  and  battle. 

During  the  First  and  Second  Camps  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  under  the  direction 
of  Mr.  George  Martin  as  General  Secretary,  did  a  splendid  work  for  the  stu- 
dent officers  in  training. 

The  commanding  officer  expressed  his  appreciation  in  the  following 
letter: 


378 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

"My  dear  Mr.  Trude:  During  my  tour  of  duty  with  the  First  Train- 
ing Camp  at  Fort  Sheridan  and  since  1  have  been  in  command  of  the 
Second  Fort  Sheridan  Training  Camp  I  have  had  occasion  to  observe  the 
work  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association  here.  Their  work  has 
been  of  great  assistance  in  instructing  and  guiding  the  welfare  of  the 
young  men  here,  making  provision  for  w^holesome  lectures,  reading  mate- 
rial, writing  material  and  entertainments  of  various  kinds.  They  have 
assisted  in  athletics  and  in  every  way  have  co-operated  with  the  officers 
in  command  to  create  ideal  moral  atmosphere  around  these  young  men. 
Their  tact,  diplomacy  and  good  w^ill  has  w^on  for  them  the  admiration  of 
every  member  of  this  Camp.  Their  work  is  democratic  and  universal  in 
its  effect  upon  these  men  and  most  beneficial.

In  addition  the  Knights  of  Columbus  maintained  a  reading  room  in  the 
Gymnasium  under  the  supervision  of  Major  E.  J.  Vattman,  and  the  Y.  M.  C. 
A.  had  a  rest  room  during  the  Second  Camp  in  the  southeast  room  of  the 
Gymnasium. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  Second  Fort  Sheridan  Camp  the  Department  of 
Morale  was  originated  and  organized.  It  was  decided  by  the  Commanding 
Officer  that  in  addition  to  the  welfare  organizations  mentioned,  that  there 
should  be  a  definite  department  under  the  control  of  the  Commanding  Officer 
through  which  he  could  secure  the  best  co-operation  of  all  agencies  as  w^ell  as 
the  commanders  of  companies  axid  the  men  themselves,  in  order  that  there 
might  be  maintained  the  highest  standard   of  morale. 

As  outlined,  the  duty  of  the  Director  of  Morale  was  to  assist  the  instruct- 
ors in  building  up  w^ithin  their  companies  a  spirit  of  harmony,  an  enthusiasm 
for  their  work,  a  clear  conception  of  the  motives  in  which  the  war  was  under- 
taken, a  high  standard  of  personal  living  and  a  definite  sense  of  the  large 
responsibilities  of  the  officers  in  training  and  maintaining  the  morale  of  their 
companies  in  the  new^  army. 

These  directors  worked  in  close  harmony  with  the  instructors  and  with 
all  other  agencies  in  the  Camp.  Their  activities  w^ere  particularly  those  w^ithin 
the  company  life,  where  they  co-operated  w^ith  the  captains  in  every  possible 
way. 

At  first  many  of  the  men  smiled  at  this  new^  department  in  the  service 
and  those  w^ho  w^ere  entrusted  with  the  responsibility  had  to  w^ithstand  their 
full  share  of  good-natured  bantering  and  w^itticisms.  How^ever,  the  idea  of  a 
Department  of  Morale  as  an  integral  part  of  an  Army  organization  originating 
at  this  time  eventually  prevailed  in  the  offices  of  the  Secretary  of  War  and  w^as 
adopted  as  a  Department  of  the  Chief  of  Staff  of  the  American  Armies. 

The  Commanding  Officer  had  the  satisfaction  long  after  the  Second  Fort 
Sheridan  Camp  was  closed  of  receiving  an  order  w^hich  was  sent  to  every 
division  of  the  Army  instructing  them  to  appoint  a  Director  of  Morale  for  each 
division.  Brigadier-General  Munson,  a  Regular  Army  officer,  w^as  ordered  to 
Washington  and  put  in  charge  of  this  department.  It  operated  in  this  country 
w^ith  a  good  deal  of  success  in  the  camps  and  was  the  parent  of  the  plan  which 
developed  after  the  armistice  of  placing  all  matters  of  welfare  w^ork  in  the 
Army  directly  in  the  control  of  the  Commanding  Officer. 

Not  only  did  this  department  aim  to  give  every  man  in  the  Camp  the  very 
best  chance  to  make  the  most  of  his  period  of  training,  but  in  addition  it  organ- 
ized a  course  of  training  to  familiarize  the  men  of  the  companies  with  the  best 
methods  of  taking  care  of  the  men  under  their  command.  Every  Wednesday 
night  a  representative  of  each  company  met  Colonel  Ryan  and  the  Director 
of  Morale  for  an  hour  in  the  Gymnasium,  at  which  time  a  discussion  was  held 
covering  the  four  points  of  intellectual,  physical,  social  and  moral  interests  of 
the  enlisted  man.

382  THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 


At  the  close  of  the  Camp  the  information  brought  together  by  each  of 
these  departments  was  embodied  in  book  form,  the  foreword  of  which  was 
written  by  Colonel  Ryan,  and  which  reads: 

Many  books  have  been  written  on  the  training  of  enlisted  men  of 
our  army,  most  of  which  have  dealt  with  the  military  side  only.  There  is 
another  side,  the  influence  of  which  it  quite  as  important  in  rounding  out 
the  soldier's  training  to  make  him  the  ideal  among  the  Nation's  de- 
fenders. 

This  book  is  sent  forth  as  the  results  of  the  combined  efforts  of  men 
of  the  Second  Fort  Sheridan  Training  Camp,  to  place  in  the  hands  of 
newly-commissioned  officers,  in  concrete  form,  a  system  of  solving  the 
many  problems  they  will  meet  in  the  development  and  training  of  the 
newly-formed  regiments  in  the  armies  of  the  United  States,  it  is  believed 
that  the  benefits  to  be  gained  will  increase  in  proportion  to  the  spirit 
w^ith  wh'ch  it  is  accepted  and  applied. 

As  far  as  we  know  this  is  one  of  the  first  books  prepared  by  men  in 
training  covering  the  officer's  responsibility  for  his  men,  and  w^hile  it  may  have 
seemed  incomplete  and  amateurish  to  men  who  had  had  large  experience  in 
service,  its  spirit  and  courage  carried  it  a  long  w^ay.  A  single  page  covering 
the  moral  responsibility  of  the  officer  to  his  men  will  give  a  slight  idea  of  the 
general  bearing  of  the  book  upon  personal  problems. 

Moral  quality  and  purpose  underlie  efficiency  and  reliability  among 
the  enlisted  men.  However  strong  men  may  be  in  other  respects,  w^ithout 
good  morals  they  must  ultimately  break  down.  Whenever  you  find  an 
enlisted  man  physically  clean,  intellectually  alert,  and  vigorously  alive, 
credit  it  to  his  moral  character.  In  the  army  moral  qualities  must  be 
virile,  positive  and  useful.  The  officer  should  rew^ard  such  character  w^ith 
larger  opportunities.  He  should  try  to  develop  larger  moral  strength 
among  his  men,  by  instruction  and  personal  influence. 

A  celebrated  Englishman,  speaking  to  troops  during  the  present  war, 
called  their  attention  to  the  fact  that  the  surgeon,  before  beginning  an 
operation,  makes  sure  that  his  instrument  is  antiseptically  clean  and  can- 
not infect  the  body  it  is  employed  to  relieve.  "In  like  manner,  "  said  the 
speaker,  "the  army  employed  to  cut  the  cancer  of  Autocracy  and  Militar- 
ism out  of  the  social  body  must  be  composed  of  men  w^ho  are  physically 
and  morally  clean;  lest  in  ridding  the  w^orld  of  its  loathsome  cancer,  it  be 
infected  with  a  virus  more  loathsome  still.  " 

Our  soldiers  carry  the  National  reputation  to  the  front.  They  must 
be  kept  clean;  otherwise,  not  only  the  men,  themselves,  but  our  future 
American  life  to  the  third  and  fourth  generation  will  be  affected. 

Repressive  measures  are  helpful  to  a  certain  degree  only.  We  should 
give  them  reasonable  support.  Prohibition  of  drink,  and  regulations  to 
keep  camps  and  their  environs  free  from  immoral  resorts  and  bad  charac- 
ters, must  be  enforced.  Civil  authorities  should  be  encouraged  in  making 
this  condition  effective  in  communities  surrounding  the  camp. 

In  the  last  analvsis,  the  whole  matter  of  morals  in  the  army  comes 
down  to  the  moral  fibre  of  the  man  himself.  A  man  of  positive  moral 
character  w^ill  be  safe  even  in  an  immoral  environment;  w^hile  a  man  lack- 
ing a  moral  recourse  will  seek  and  find  opportunity  for  indulgence,  how- 
ever repressive  the  measures  adopted  for  his  protection.  This  manual  is 
prepared  for  the  purpose  of  assisting  the  officer  to  build  up  personal 
character,   as  well  as  company  spirit. 


THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 383 

The  other  chapters  dealt  with  the  mental  training  of  the  enlisted  man, 

his  physical  condition  and  his  recreation.  Some  of  the  contributions  made  by 
the  delegates  for  the  company  to  the  weekly  conference  and  later  to  the  book 
showed  how  great  the  interest  and  determination  was  to  play  fair  with  this 
biggest  of  all  problems. 

In  their  early  training  the  majority  of  the  men  realized  that  if  they  were 
to  have  any  success  in  creating  efficient  loyal  soldiers,  it  would  be  in  proportion 
to  the  thoughtful  leadership,  the  spirit  of  consideration,  the  knowledge  of  their 
needs  and  the  ability  to  care  for  them  fairly  and  adequately. 

They  came  to  realize  that  positive  plans  for  the  continuous  development 
of  the  good  spirit  of  their  companies  will  accomplish  far  more  in  the  long  run 
than  irregular  attempts  at  severe  discipline. 

Such  consideration  should  not  be  given  as  a  bait  for  popularity  or  as  a 
substitute  for  intelligent  leadership  or  necessary  discipline  and  training.  It 
should  aim  to  build  up  a  spirit  around  the  commander  and  within  the  company 
which  would  furnish  a  wholesome  influence  to  training  in  teamwork,  a  splen- 
did morale  for  battle,  a  condition  where  the  failure  or  delinquency  of  men  will 
so  affect  the  rest  of  the  company  that  personal  discipline  would  not  be 
necessary. 

Major  Christian  A.  Bach,  whose  record  at  Fort  Sheridan  and  afterwards 
as  Chief  of  Staff  of  the  Fourth  Division  in  France,  will  always  be  one  of  the 
outstanding  personalities  of  the  war  in  the  minds  of  all  the  men  who  served 
with  him,  expressed  in  simple  yet  imperishable  form  what  a  real  soldier  thought 
on  this  subject  of  leadership. 

In  perpetuating  his  great  address  on  Leadership  in  the  records  of  the 
Fort  Sheridan  Training  Camp,  we  believe  we  are  doing  a  service  to  many  a 
man  who  will  read  it  again  and  who  will  realize  that  in  times  of  peace,  as  in 
times  of  war,  real  leadership  requires  the  very  best  a  man  possesses. 

Speaking  in  the  Gymnasium  shortly  before  the  close  of  the  Second  Camp, 
Major  Bach  said: 

In  a  short  time  each  of  you  men  will  control  the  lives  of  a  certain 
number  of  other  men.  You  will  have  in  your  charge  a  greater  or  less 
number  of  loyal,  but  untrained,  citizens  who  look  to  you  for  instruction 
and  guidance.  Your  word  will  be  their  law.  Your  most  casual  remark 
will  be  remembered.  Your  mannerisms  will  be  aped.  Your  clothing, 
your  carriage,  your  vocabulary,  your  manner  of  command  will  be  imi- 
tated. When  you  join  your  organization  you  will  find  waiting  for  you, 
or  yOu  will  receive,  a  willing  body  of  men  who  ask  from  you  nothing 
more  than  the  qualities  that  will  command  their  respect,  their  loyalty 
and  their  obedience.  They  are  perfectly  ready  and  eager  to  follow  you 
so  long  as  you  can  convince  them  that  you  have  these  qualities.  When 
the  time  comes  that  they  are  satisfied  you  do  not  possess  them,  you  might 
as  well  kiss  yourself  good-by.  Your  usefulness  in  that  organization  is  at 
an  end. 

From  the  standpoint  of  society,  the  world  is  divided  into  leaders 
and  followers.  The  professions  have  their  leaders,  the  financial  world 
has  its  leaders.  We  have  religious  leaders  and  political  leaders  and 
society  leaders.      In  all  this  leadership  it  is  difficult,  if  not  impossible,   to 


384 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN'     ASSOCIATION 

separate  from  the  element  of  pure  leadership  that  selfish  element  of  per- 
sonal gain  or  advantage  to  the  individual,  w^ithout  which  such  leadership 
would  lose  its  value.  It  is  in  the  military  service  only  w^here  men  freely 
sacrifice  their  lives  for  a  faith,  where  men  are  willing  to  suffer  and  die  for 
the  right  or  the  prevention  of  a  great  w^rong,  that  we  can  hope  to  realize 
leadership  in  its  highest,  most  exalted  and  disinterested  sense.  Therefore, 
w^hen  I  say  leadership,   I  mean  military  leadership. 

In  a  ievf  days  the  great  mass  of  you  men  will  receive  commissions 
as  officers.  These  commissions  w^ill  not  make  you  leaders;  they  w^ill 
merely  make  you  officers.  They  will  place  you  in  a  position  where  you 
can  become  leaders  if  you  possess  the  proper  attributes.  But  you  must 
make  good,  not  so  much  w^ith  the  men  over  you  as  w^ith  the  men 
under  you. 

Men  must  and  will  follow  into  battle  officers  who  are  not  leaders; 
but  the  driving  pow^er  behind  these  men  is  not  enthusiasm,  but  discipline. 
They  go  w^ith  doubt  and  trembling  and  with  an  awful  fear  tugging  at 
their  heart-strings  that  prompts  the  unspoken  question,  "What  will  he  do 
next?"  Such  men  obey  the  letter  of  their  orders,  but  no  more.  Of 
devotion  to  their  commander;  of  exalted  enthusiasm  w^hich  scorns  per- 
sonal risk;  of  their  self-sacrifice  to  insure  his  personal  safety,  they  know 
nothing.  Their  legs  carry  them  forvsrard  because  their  brain  and  their 
training  tell  them  they  must  go.  Their  spirit  does  not  go  w^ith  them. 
Great  results  are  not  achieved  by  cold,  passsive,  unresponsive  soldiers. 
They  don't  go  very  far  and  they  stop  as  soon  as  they  can.  Leadership 
not  only  demands,  but  receives,  the  w^illing,  unhesitating,  unfaltering 
obedience  and  loyalty  of  other  men;  and  a  devotion  that  w^ill  cause  them, 
when  the  time  comes,  to  follow  their  uncrowned  king  to  hell  and  back 
again  if  necessary. 

You  will  ask  yourselves,  "Of  just  what,  then,  does  leadership  con- 
sist?" "What  must  I  do  to  become  a  leader?"  "What  are  the  attributes 
of  leadership  and  how^  can  I  cultivate  them?" 

Leadership  is  a  composite  of  a  number  of  qualities.  Among  the 
most  important  I  would  list  self-confidence,  moral  ascendency,  self- 
sacrifice,  paternalism,  fairness,  initiative,  decision,  dignity,  courage. 

Let  me  discuss  these  with  you  in  detail. 

Self-confidence  results,  first,  from  exact  knowledge;  second,  the 
ability  to  impart  that  knowledge,  and,  third,  the  feeling  of  superiority 
over  others  that  naturally  follows.      All  these  give  the  officer  poise. 

To  lead,  you  must  know you  may  bluff  all  your  men  some  of  the 

time,  but  you  can't  do  it  all  the  time.  Men  v/ill  not  have  confidence  in 
an  officer  unless  he  know^s  his  business,  and  he  must  know  it  from  the 
ground  up.  The  officer  should  know  more  about  paper  w^ork  than  his 
first  sergeant  and  company  clerk  put  together;  he  should  know^  more 
about  messing  than  his  mess  sergeant;  more  about  diseases  of  the  horse 
than  his  troop  farrier.  He  should  be  at  least  as  good  a  shot  as  any  man 
in  his  company.  If  the  officer  does  not  know,  and  demonstrates  the  fact 
that  he  does  not  know,  it  is  entirely  human  for  the  soldier  to  say  to 
himself:  "To  hell  w^ith  him;  he  doesn't  know  as  much  about  this  as 
I  do,  "  and  calmly  disregard  the  instructions  received.  There  is  no  sub- 
stitute for  accurate  knowledge.  Become  so  well  informed  that  men  will 
hunt  you  up  to  ask  questions;  that  your  brother  officers  w^ill  say  to  one 
another,  "Ask  Smith — he  knows."  And  not  only  should  each  officer 
know  thoroughly  the  duties  and  responsibilities  of  his  own  grade,  but 
he  should  study  those  of  the  two  grades  next  above  him.  A  tw^o-fold 
benefit  attaches  to  this.      He  prepares  himself  for  duties  which  may  fall

to  his  lot  at  any  time  during  battle;  he  further  gains  a  broader  viewpoint 
which  enables  him  to  appreciate  the  necessity  for  the  issuance  of  orders 
and  joins  more  intelligently  in  their  execution. 

Not  only  must  the  officer  know,  but  he  must  be  able  to  put  what 
he  knows  into  grammatical,  interesting,  forceful  English.  He  must  learn 
to  stand  on  his  feet  and  speak  without  embarrassment.  I  am  told  that 
in  British  training  camps  student  officers  are  required  to  deliver  ten- 
minute  talks  on  any  subject  they  may  choose.  That  is  excellent  practice. 
For  to  speak  clearly,  one  must  think  clearly,  and  clear,  logical  thinking 
expresses  itself  in  definite  positive  orders.  While  self-confidence  is  the 
result  of  knowing  more  than  your  men,  moral  ascendency  is  based  upon 
your  belief  that  you  are  the  better  man.  To  gain  and  maintain  this 
ascendency  you  must  have  self-control,  physical  vitality  and  endurance 
and  moral  force.  You  must  have  yourself  so  well  in  hand  that,  even 
though  in  battle  you  be  scared  stiff,  you  will  never  show  fear.  For  if 
you,  by  so  much  as  a  hurried  movement  or  a  trembling  of  the  hands  or  a 
change  of  expression  or  a  hasty  order  hastily  revoked,  indicate  your 
mental  condition,  it  will  be  reflected  in  your  men  in  a  far  greater  degree. 
In  garrison  or  camp,  many  instances  arise  to  try  your  temper  and  w^reck 
the  sw^eetness  of  your  disposition.  If  at  such  ^\me  you  "fly  off  the  handle  " 
you  have  no  business  to  be  in  charge  of  men.  For  men  in  anger  say  and 
do  things  that  they,  almost  invariably,  regret  afterw^ards.  An  officer 
should  never  apologize  to  his  men;  also,  an  officer  should  never  be  guilty 
of  an  act  for  which  his  sense  of  justice  tells  him  he  should  apologize. 

Another  element  in  gaining  moral  ascendency  lies  in  the  possession 
of  enough  physical  vitality  and  endurance  to  w^ithstand  the  hardships 
to  which  you  and  your  men  are  subjected  and  a  dauntless  spirit  that 
enables  you  to  not  Qnly  accept  them  cheerfully,  but  to  minimize  their 
magnitude.  Make  light  of  your  troubles,  belittle  your  trials,  and  you 
w^ill  help  vitally  to  build  up  within  your  organization  an  esprit  w^hose 
value  in  time  of  stress  cannot  be  measured. 

Moral  force  is  the  third  element  in  gaining  moral  ascendency.  To 
exert  moral  force  you  must  live  clean;  you  must  have  sufficient  brain 
pow^er  to  see  the  right  and  the  will  to  do  the  right.  Be  an  example  to 
your  men.      An   officer  can  be   a   pow^er    for   good    or    a   pow^er   for   evil. 

Don't  preach  to  them that  will  be  worse  than  useless.      Live  the  kind 

of  a  life  you  would  have  them  lead  and  you  will  be  surprised  to  see  the 
number  that  will  imitate  you.  A  loud-mouthed,  profane  captain,  who 
is  careless  of  his  personal  appearance,  w^ill  have  a  loud-mouthed,  pro- 
fane, dirty  company.  Remember  what  I  tell  you.  Your  company  will 
be  the  reflection  of  yourself.  If  you  have  a  rotten  company  it  v/ill  be 
because  you  are  a  rotten  captain. 

Self-sacrifice  is  essential  to  leadership.  \'ou  will  give;  give  all  the 
time.  You  will  give  of  yourself  physically,  for  the  longest  hours,  the 
hardest  w^ork  and  the  greatest  responsibility  is  the  lot  of  the  captain.  He 
is  the  first  man  up  in  the  morning  and  the  last  man  in  at  night.  He 
w^orks  while  others  sleep.  You  will  give  of  yourself  mentally,  in  sym- 
pathy and  appreciation  for  the  troubles  of  men  in  your  charge.  This 
one's  mother  has  died  and  that  one  hast  lost  all  his  savings  in  a  bank 
failure.  They  may  desire  help,  but  more  than  anything  else  they  desire 
sympathy.  Don't  make  the  mistake  of  turning  such  men  down  with  the 
statement  that  you  have  troubles  of  your  own.  For  every  time  that  you 
do  you  knock  a  stone  out  of  the  foundation  of  your  house.  Your  men 
are  your  foundation,  and  your  house  of  leadership  will  tumble  about 
your  ears  unless  it  rests  securely  upon   them.      Finally,   you   will   give   of 


THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 387 

your  ovs^n  slender  financial  resources.  You  will  frequently  spend  your 
own  money  to  conserve  the  health  and  w^ell  being  of  your  men  or  to 
assist  them  when  in  trouble.  Generally  you  get  your  money  back.  Very 
frequently  you  must  charge  it  to  profit  and  loss. 

When  I  say  that  paternalism  is  essential  to  leadership  i  use  the 
term  in  its  better  sense.  I  do  not  now  refer  to  that  form  of  paternalism 
w^hich  robs  men  of  initiative,  self-reliance  and  self-respect.  I  refer  to 
the  paternalism  that  manifests  itself  in  a  w^atchful  case  for  the  comfort 
and  welfare  of  those  in  your  charge.  Soldiers  are  much  like  children. 
You  must  see  that  they  have  shelter,  food  and  clothing,  the  best  that 
your  utmost  efforts  can  provide.  You  must  see  that  they  have  food  to 
eat  before  you  think  of  your  ow^n;  that  they  have  each  as  good  a  bed  as 
can  be  provided  before  you  consider  where  you  will  sleep.  You  must 
be  far  more  solicitous  of  their  comfort  than  of  your  own.  You  must  look 
after  their  health.  You  must  conserve  their  strength  by  not  demanding 
needless  exertion  or  useless  labor.  And  by  doing  all  these  things  you 
are  breathing  into  life  what  would  otherwise  be  a  man  machine.  You 
are  creating  a  soul  in  your  organization  that  w^ill  make  the  mass  respond 
to  you  as  though  it  w^ere  one  man.  And  that  is  esprit.  And  when  your 
organization  has  this  esprit  you  will  wake  up  some  morning  and  discover 
that  the  tables  have  been  turned;  that  instead  of  your  constantly  look- 
ing out  for  them,  they  have,  w^ithout  even  a  hint  from  you,  taken  up 
the  task  of  looking  out  for  you.  You  w^ill  find  that  a  detail  is  alw^ays 
there  to  see  that  your  tent,  if  you  have  one,  is  promptly  pitched;  that 
the  most  and  the  cleanest  bedding  is  brought  to  your  tent;  that  from 
some  mysterious  source  two  eggs  have  been  added  to  your  supper  w^hen 
no  one  else  had  any;  that  an  extra  man  is  helping  your  stryker  to  give 
your  horse  a  super-grooming;  that  your  w^ishes  are  anticipated;  that 
every  man  is  "Johnny  on  the  spot."      And  then  you  have  arrived. 

Fairness  is  another  element  w^ithout  which  leadership  can  neither 
be  built  up  nor  maintained.  There  must  be,  first,  that  fairness  which 
treats  all  men  justly.  I  do  not  say  alike,  for  you  cannot  treat  all  men 
alike — that  would  be  assuming  that  all  men  are  cut  from  the  same 
piece;  that  there  is  no  such  thing  as  individuality  or  a  personal  equa- 
tion. You  cannot  treat  all  men  alike;  a  punishment  that  would  be  dis- 
missed by  one  man  w^ith  a  shrug  of  the  shoulders  is  mental  anguish  for 
another.  A  company  commander  who  for  a  given  offense  has  a  standard 
punishment  that  applies  to  all  is  either  too  indolent  or  too  stupid  to 
study  the  personality  of  his  men.  in  his  case  justice  is  certainly  blind. 
Study  your  men  as  carefully  as  a  surgeon  studies  a  difficult  case.  And 
when  you  are  sure  of  your  diagnosis,  apply  the  remedy.  And  remember 
that  you  apply  the  remedy  to  effect  a  cure;  not  merely  to  see  the  victim 
squirm.  It  may  be  necessary  to  cut  deep;  but  when  you  are  satisfied  as 
to  your  diagnosis  don't  be  diverted  from  your  purpose  by  any  false 
sympathy  for  the  patient. 

Hand  in  hand  w^ith  fairness  in  awarding  punishment  w^alks  fairness 
in  giving  credit.  Everybody  hates  a  human  hog.  When  any  one  of 
your  men  has  accomplished  an  especially  creditable  piece  of  w^ork  see 
that  he  gets  his  proper  reward. 

Turn  heaven  and  earth  upside  down  to  get  it  for  him.  Don't  try 
to  take  it  aw^ay  from  him  and  hog  it  for  yourself.  You  may  do  this  and 
get  away  with  it,  but  you  have  lost  the  respect  and  loyalty  of  your  men. 
Sooner  or  later,  your  brother  officers  will  hear  of  it  and  shun  you  like  a 
leper.  In  war  there  is  glory  enough  for  all.  Give  the  man  under  you  his 
due.  The  man  who  always  takes  and  never  gives  is  not  a  leader.  He 
is  a  parasite. 


388 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

There  is  another  kind  of  fairness — that  which  will  prevent  an  officer 
from  abusing  the  privileges  of  his  rank.  When  you  exact  respect  from 
soldiers,  be  sure  you  treat  them  with  equal  respect.  Build  up  their  man- 
hood and  self-respect.  Don  t  try  to  pull  it  dow^n.  For  an  officer  to  be 
overbearing  and  insulting  in  the  treatment  of  enlisted  men  is  the  act  of  a 
coward.  He  ties  the  man  to  a  tree  w^ith  the  ropes  of  discipline  and  then 
strikes  him  in  the  face,  knowing  full  w^ell  that  the  man  cannot  strike  back. 
Consideration,  courtesy  and  respect  from  officers  tow^ard  enlisted  men  are 
not  incompatible  w^ith  discipline;  they  are  part  of  our  discipline. 

Without  initiative  and  decision  no  man  can  expect  to  lead.  In  ma- 
neuvers, you  will  frequently  see,  when  an  emergency  arises,  certain  men 
calmly  give  instant  orders,  which  later,  on  analysis,  prove  to  be,  if  not 
exactly  the  right  thing,  very  nearly  the  right  thing  to  have  done.  You 
w^ill  see  other  men  in  emergency,  become  badly  rattled;  their  brains 
refuse  to  w^ork,  or  they  give  a  hasty  order,  revoke  it,  give  another,  revoke 
that;  in  short,  show  every  indication  of  being  in  a  blue  funk.  Regarding 
the  first  man  you  may  say:  "That  man  is  a  genius.  He  hasn't  had  time  to 
reason  this  thing  out.  He  acts  intuitively.  "  Forget  it.  Genius  is  merely 
the  capacity  for  taking  infinite  pains.  The  man  w^ho  w^as  ready  is  the  man 
w^ho  has  prepared  himself.  He  has  studied  beforehand  the  possible  situa- 
tions that  might  arise;  he  has  made  tentative  plans  covering  such  situa- 
tions. When  he  is  confronted  by  the  emergency,  he  is  ready  to  meet  it. 
He  must  have  sufficient  mental  alertness  to  appreciate  the  problem  that 
confronts  him  and  the  power  of  quick  reasoning  to  determine  what 
changes  are  necessary  in  his  already  formulated  plan.  He  must  have  also 
the  decision  to  order  the  execution  and  stick  to  his  order.  Any  reason- 
able order  in  an  emergency  is  better  than  no  order.  The  situation  is 
there.  Meet  it.  It  is  better  to  do  something  and  do  the  wrong  thing  than 
to  hesitate,  hunt  around  for  the  right  thing  to  do  and  w^ind  up  by  doing 
nothing  at  all.  And  having  decided  on  a  line  of  action,  stick  to  it.  Don't 
vacillate.  Men  have  no  confidence  in  an  officer  w^ho  doesn't  know^  his 
own  mind.  Occasionally  you  w^ill  be  called  upon  to  meet  a  situation 
which  no  reasonable  human  being  could  anticipate.  If  you  have  prepared 
yourselves  to  meet  other  emergencies  w^hich  you  could  anticipate,  the 
mental  training  you  have  thereby  gained  will  enable  you  to  act  promptly 
and  w^ith  calmness.  You  must  frequently  act  w^ithout  orders  from  higher 
authority.  Time  w^ill  not  permit  you  to  w^ait  for  them.  Here  again  enters 
the  importance  of  studying  the  w^ork  of  the  officers  above  you.  If  you 
have  a  comprehensive  grasp  of  the  entire  situation  and  can  form  an  idea 
of  the  general  plan  of  your  superiors,  that  and  your  previous  emergency 
training  will  enable  you  to  determine  that  the  responsibility  is  yours  and 
to  issue  the  necessary  orders  w^ithout  delay. 

The  element  of  personal  dignity  is  important  in  military  leadership. 
Be  the  friend  of  your  men,  but  do  not  become  their  intimate.  Your  men 
should  stand  in  aw^e  of  you;  not  fear.  If  your  men  presume  to  become 
familiar,  it  is  your  fault,  not  theirs.  Your  actions  have  encouraged  them 
to  do  so.  And  above  all  things  don't  cheapen  yourself  by  courting  their 
friendship  or  currying  their  favor.  They  w^ill  despise  you  for  it.  If  you 
are  worthy  of  their  loyalty  and  respect  and  devotion  they  w^ill  surely  give 
all  these  without  asking.  If  you  are  not,  nothing  that  you  can  do  w^ill  w^in 
them. 

It  is  exceedingly  difficult  for  an  officer  to  be  dignified  w^hile  w^earing 
a  dirty,  spotted  uniform  and  a  three  days'  stubble  of  whiskers  on  his  face. 
Such  a  man  lacks  self-respect  and  self-respect  is  an  essential  of  dignity. 
There  may  be  occasions  when  your  work  entails  dirty  clothes  and  an  un- 
shaven face.      Your  men  all  look  that  way.      At  such  times  there  is  ample 


THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 389 

reason  for  your  appearance.  In  fact,  it  would  be  a  mistake  to  look  too 
clean — they  would  think  that  you  were  not  doing  your  share.  But  as 
soon  as  this  unusual  occasion  has  passed,  set  them  an  example  of  personal 
neatness. 

And  then  1  would  mention  courage.  Moral  courage  you  need  as 
well  as  physical  courage.  That  kind  of  moral  courage  which  enables  you 
to  adhere  without  faltering  to  a  determined  course  of  action  which  your 
judgment  has  indicated  as  the  one  best  suited  to  secure  the  desired  result. 
You  will  find  many  times,  especially  in  action,  that,  after  having  issued 
your  orders  to  do  a  certain  thing,  you  will  be  beset  by  misgivings  and 
doubts;  you  w^ill  see  or  think  you  see  other  and  better  means  for  accom- 
plishing the  object  sought.  You  will  be  strongly  tempted  to  change  your 
orders.  Don't  do  it  until  it  is  clearly  manifested  that  your  first  orders 
were  radically  wrong.  For,  if  you  do,  you  will  be  again  worried  by 
doubts  as  to  the  efficacy  of  your  second  orders.  Every  time  you  change 
your  orders  without  obvious  reason  you  weaken  your  authority  and  impair 
the  confidence  of  your  men.  Have  the  moral  courage  to  stand  by  your 
order  and  see  it  through. 

Moral  courage  further  demands  that  you  assume  the  responsibility 
for  your  own  acts.  If  your  subordinates  have  loyally  carried  out  your 
orders  and  the  movement  you  directed  is  a  failure,  the  failure  is  yours, 
not  theirs.  Yours  would  have  been  the  honor,  had  it  been  successful. 
Take  the  blame  if  it  results  in  disaster.  Don't  try  to  shift  it  to  a  subor- 
dinate and  make  him  the  goat.     That  is  a  cowardly  act. 

Furthermore,  you  will  need  moral  courage  to  determine  the  fate  of 
those  under  you.  You  will  frequently  be  called  upon  for  recommenda- 
tions for  the  promotion  or  demotion  of  officers  and  N.  C.  O.  in  your 
immediate  command.  Keep  clearly  in  mind  your  personal  integrity  and 
the  duty  you  owe  your  country.  Do  not  let  yourself  be  deflected  from  a 
strict  sense  of  justice  by  feelings  of  personal  friendship.  If  your  own 
brother  is  the  second  lieutenant  and  you  find  him  unfit  to  hold  the  com- 
mission, eliminate  him.  If  you  dont,  your  lack  of  moral  courage  may 
result  in  the  loss  of  valuable  lives.  If,  on  the  other  hand,  you  are  called 
upon  for  a  recommendation  concerning  a  man  whom,  for  personal  rea- 
sons, you  dislike,  do  not  fail  to  do  him  full  justice.  Remember  that  your 
aim  is  the  general  good,  not  the  satisfaction  of  an  individual  grudge. 

I  am  taking  it  for  granted  that  you  have  physical  courage.  1  need 
not  tell  you  how  necessary  that  is. 

Courage  is  more  than  bravery.  Bravery  is  fearlessness — the  absence 
of  fear.  The  merest  dolt  may  be  brave  because  he  lacks  the  mentality  to 
appreciate  his  danger;  he  doesn't  know  enough  to  be  afraid.  Courage, 
however,  is  that  firmness  of  spirit,  that  moral  backbone  which,  while  fully 
appreciating  the  danger  involved,  nevertheless  goes  on  with  the  undertak- 
ing. Bravery  is  physical  courage,  is  mental  and  moral.  You  may  be 
cold  all  over,  your  hands  may  tremble,  your  legs  may  quake,  your  knees 
be  ready  to  give  way — that  is  fear.  If  nevertheless  you  go  forward,  if  in 
spite  of  this  physical  defection  you  continue  to  lead  your  men  against  the 
enemy,  you  have  courage.  The  physical  manifestations  of  fear  will  pass 
away.  You  may  never  experience  them  but  once.  They  are  the  "buck 
fever"  of  the  hunter  who  tries  to  shoot  his  first  deer.  You  must  not  give 
w^ay  to  them. 

A  number  of  years  ago,  while  taking  c(  course  in  demolitions,  the 
class  of  which  I  was  a  member,  was  handling  dynamite.  The  instructor 
said,   regarding  its  manipulation,    "I  must   caution  you   gentlemen   to  be 


390 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

careful  in  the  use  of  these  explosives.  One  man  has  but  one  accident." 
And  so  1  would  caution  you.  if  you  give  way  to  the  fear  that  will  doubt- 
less beset  you  in  your  first  action;  if  you  show^  the  w^hite  feather;  if  you 
let  your  men  go  forward  w^hile  you  hunt  a  shell-crater,  you  w^ill  never 
again  have  the  opportunity  of  leading  those  men. 

Use  judgment,  in  calling  on  your  men  for  displays  of  physical  cour- 
age or  bravery.  Don't  ask  any  man  to  go  where  you  would  not  go  your- 
self. If  your  common  sense  tells  you  that  the  place  is  too  dangerous  for 
you  to  venture  into,  then  it  is  too  dangerous  for  him.  You  know^  his  life 
is  as  valuable  to  him  as  yours  is  to  you.  Occasionally  some  of  your  men 
must  be  exposed  to  danger  which  you  cannot  share.  A  message  must  be 
taken  across  a  fire-swept  zone.  You  call  for  volunteers.  If  your  men 
know  you,  and  know^  that  you  are  "right  "  you  will  never  lack  volunteers; 
for  they  will  know  your  heart  is  in  your  work,  that  you  are  giving  your 
country  the  best  you  have,  that  you  would  willingly  carry  the  message 
yourself  if  you  could.  Your  example  and  enthusiasm  will  have  inspired 
them. 

And  lastly,  if  you  aspire  to  leadership,  I  w^ould  urge  you  to  study 
men.  Get  under  their  skins,  and  find  out  what  is  inside.  Some  men  are 
quite  different  from  w^hat  they  appear  to  be  on  the  surface.  Determine 
the  workings  of  their  minds.  Much  of  General  Robert  E.  Lee's  success 
as  a  leader  may  be  ascribed  to  his  ability  as  a  psychologist.  He  knew^ 
most  of  his  opponents  from  West  Point  days;  knew^  the  workings  of  their 
minds.  He  believed  that  they  would  do  certain  things  under  certain 
circumstances.  In  nearly  every  case,  he  was  able  to  anticipate  their 
movements  and  block  the  execution.  You  cannot  knowr  your  opponents 
in  this  war,  in  the  same  w^ay.  But  you  can  know  your  own  men.  You 
can  study  each  to  determine  wherein  lies  his  strength  and  his  weakness. 
Which  man  can  be  relied  upon  to  the  last  gasp  and  which  cannot.  Know 
your  men,  know^  your  business,  know^  yourself. 

Only  three  w^eeks  remained.  Early  in  November  there  had  been  a  fall 
of  snow.  The  men  were  kept  out  of  the  trenches  and  off  the  ranges,  but 
doubled  up  in  lectures  and  study. 

Three  Friday  nights  were  set  aside  for  entertainments  by  the  men.  It  was 
explained  by  the  Commanding  Officer  that  the  work  was  compulsory  and  a 
part  of  their  training. 

The  first  was  a  minstrel  show  given  by  the  members  of  the  Kansas- 
Colorado-Missouri  Regiment.      Following  is  the  program:

Tableau. 

The  next  week  a  vaudeville  show  was  given  by  the  Michigan-Wisconsin 
Regiment  under  the  direction  of  Candidate  Frank  R.  Adams,  formerly  of 
Hough   &  Adams,  author  of  many  successssful  plays. 

The  work  of  preparation  was  done  with  difficulty  as  the  men  were  in 
the  trenches  all  week,  but  on  Friday  night,  the  Gymnasium  was  a  real  show 
land  and  hundreds  of  trench-wearied  veterans  and  uneasy  candidates  wel- 
comed a  real  diversion  for  an  evening. 

They  presented  the  following  program: 

1.  "Have  a  Heart" Candidate  Snyder  and  Candidates  Gillette,   Col- 

lette,  Boardman,  R.  D.  Cooper,  Lewis  and  Pierce,  Third  Battery. 

2.  "The  Fourth  Battery  Rides  Away" — Candidates  Hartesvelt,  Nahi- 
kian.  Leek,  Stewart  and  Kitson,  Fourth  Battery.

enth Company. 

4.  Songs Candidate  Jenkin,  Third  Battery.

Porter,  Crane  and  Reed,   Fifth  Battery. 

6.  "Princess  Ino" Psychic  Demonstration — Candidates  Gruetner  and 

Torson,  Fifth  Battery. 

7.  "Prepare    for    Action" Candidates    Brookhart    and    Talkes,    Third 

Battery. 

8.  Songs — Candidates  Henning,  Dunne,  Thomas  and  Weller,  Fifth 
Battery. 

9.  "Gravy" Candidates  Geert  and  Parchor,  Tenth  Company. 

10.    "My    Honolulu     Honey    Lou" Candidate    Millet    and    Candidates 

Snyder,  Gillette,  Collette,  Mahon,  Pierce,  Lewis,  Lane,  Boardman,  Frost,  Nor- 
ton, Tait,  Tilleson,  Wells,  Cooper,  Quinnell,  Thomas,  Bennett,  Knutson,  Bald- 
win, Vogel,  Brant,  Johnston  and  Roark. 

The  final  show  was  given  by  the  Illinois  Regiment,  it  began  with  a  play 
entitled,  "Inertia,"  written  by  J.  Lee  Nichols  of  the  British  Army,  with  Can- 
didate Dick  Travers  as  the  star.  This  was  followed  by  a  comedy  sketch  en- 
titled "Barracks  Bust,"  and  another.  "Third  Regiment  Hash,"  in  which  "Ser- 
geant Hill,"  of  Small  Problems  of  Infantry  fame  made  his  first  entrance  on  the 
dramatic  stage. 

One  of  the  best  features  of  the  entertainment  was  the  Third  Regiment 
Glee  Club  and  Orchestra,  which  had  been  suddenly  whipped  into  shape  by 
Candidate  Hodge  of  the  Eighteenth  Company,  formerly  bandmaster  for  Ring- 
ling  Brothers  Circus. 


392 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

All  candidates  agreed  that  nothing  could  beat  the  three  entertainments 
given  and  the  applause  and  enthusiasm  throughout  repaid  the  extra  effort  and 
time  given. 

The  final  week  in  the  trenches — the  third  in  the  series — began  on  the 
tw^elfth  week.  The  instructors  desired  during  this  w^eek  to  teach  the  following 
lessons: 

1 .  Camouflage  of  Trenches. — The  student  officers  camouflaged  the 
important  sections  of  the  trenches,  the  machine  gun  emplacements,  battery 
supports.      Part  of  it  was  a  work  of  art. 

2.  Organization  of  the  Position. — This  included  posting  of  sentinels; 
relief  of  sentinels;  posting  of  observers;  relief  of  observers;  posting  of  watches; 
relief  of  watches;  giving  the  alarm  in  case  of  troop  attack  or  a  gas  attack  and 
other  matters  relating  to  interior  life  of  the  trenches. 

3.  Providing  against  night  attacks  by  patrols  in  No  Man  s  Land. 

4.  Construction  of  barbed  wire  entanglements. 

5.  Communication  betw^een  the  different  parts  of  Trench  System  by 
chains  of  runners  and  communication  with  the  artillery  support  by  means  of 
rockets,  etc.      Drill  in  the  placing  and  firing  of  flares. 

6.  Drill  in  offensive  and  defensive  attacks  and  general  maneuvers 
by  day  and  night. 

The  week  went  off  fine.  The  three  months'  work  of  instruction,  training 
and  organization  were  beginning  to  tell.  There  was  confidence,  earnestness 
and  rapid  movement.  Underlying  it  all  was  the  constant  pressure  of  the  fact 
that  probably  the  next  trial  out  in  the  trenches  would  be  in  far  away  France. 

The  movements  in  the  trenches  and  in  the  attacks  went  off  like  clock 
work.  The  night  was  illumined  by  constant  setting  off  of  flares,  the  sharp 
cracking  of  rifles  and  the  whirr  and  crack  of  the  bursting  rockets,  while  the 
boom  of  the  heavy  guns  carried  far  distant  and  kept  the  North  Shore  awake 
through  a  large  part  of  the  night  and  brought  hundreds  from  all  sections  who 
witnessed  the  night  movements  from  the  central  road. 

The  "Reveille"  said,  "Tuesday  night's  sham  battle  was  the  most  inter- 
esting and  spectacular  held  at  Fort  Sheridan.  Seven  companies  under  com- 
mand of  Major  H.  R.  Smalley  attacked  the  trenches,  defended  by  eleven  com- 
panies under  command  of  Major  C.  A.  Bach.  The  attack  came  in  waves, 
twenty  minutes  apart,  running  from  the  Fast  to  the  West  Sectors. 

All  commands  were  given  by  rockets  and  signal  fires.  Thirteen  trench 
mortars  firing  aerial  bombs  simulated  exploding  shells  over  the  trenches  and 
No  Man's  Land.  Star  shells,  flares,  rockets  and  "Bengal"  lights  kept  up  a 
constant  illumination  and  the  booming  of  rockets  and  rifles  in  the  hands  of 
2,000  fighting  men  made  the  work  most  realistic  yet  attempted." 

During  the  week  one  of  the  officers  took  some  friends  to  dinner  at  a 
neighborhood  hotel.  This  hotel  had  prospered  largely  during  the  Camps  and 
had  always  been  particularly  gracious  to  the  men  at  Fort  Sheridan. 

The  proprietor's  humor  seemed  to  be  way  off.  He  called  the  officer 
aside  and  told  him  that  the  big  guns  woke  up  some  of  his  nervous  guests  in  the 
middle  of  the  night  and  that  there  were  a  lot  of  complaints  from  people  who 
came  out  there  to  be  quiet. 


THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 393 

The  officer  listened  to  him  courteously  and  attentively  and  then  without 
a  smile  on  his  face,  replied,  "Leave  it  to  me.  I  will  fix  it  up  all  right.  I  will 
communicate  with  headquarters  and  have  them  stop  the  w^ar." 

The  last  week  in  the  trenches  gave  both  officers  and  men  new  confidence 
and  a  deep  sense  of  satisfaction  for  all  the  work  done,  and  helped  to  deepen 
ties  of  friendship  and  personal  acquaintance  already  strong  among  the  men. 
Assisting  Senior  Instructor  Major  Cromwell  Stacey  in  all  the  plans  for  trench 
work,  were  Major  Solbert  of  the  Engineers  and  Captain  Georges  Etienne

In  closing  his  service  at  Fort  Sheridan  and  before  going  to  Camp  Grant, 
Captain  Bertrand  wrote  this  letter  to  the  men  of  the  Camp: 
factor  in  the  rapid  development  of  the  student  candidates. 
My  dear  Comrades: 

You  will  soon  receive  your  commissions.  And  now  you,  in  your 
turn,  are  called  to  lead  men  into  battle.  You  will  do  it  with  the  double 
application  of  audacity  and  that  efficiency  which  every  American  puts 
into  practice  when  he  treats  of  a  business  matter.  You  will  do  it  also  with 
that  positive  consciousness  of  the  right  road,  that  freshness  of  sentiment, 
that  enthusiasm  which  characterizes  your  people  when  it  concerns  a  moral 
matter.  As  I  have  written  over  there  to  my  chiefs,  to  my  friends  and  also 
to  that  little  family  which  1  left  for  a  time,  the  officers  and  men  of  my 
battalion — I  have  no  fears  about  seeing  you  at  work.  In  fact,  I  am  con- 
fident of  the  work  which  you  are  going  to  accomplish  because  of  the 
results  which  you  have  gained  here  in  three  months.  It  was  not  possible 
to  do  more  in  this  space  of  time.  I  do  not  say  that  you  are  military 
experts,  but  this  war,  in  its  application,  is  not  a  science,  it  is  a  practical  art. 
You  will  be  good  workmen,  for  you  have  a  clear  and  general  knowledge 
of  your  trade.  You  are  qualified  to  take  a  command.  Now  you  must 
bend  your  efforts  toward  two  points.      I  have  the  privilege  of  giving  you 

this  last  advice.      First,  train  yourself  in  leading  your  unit that  is  to  say, 

practice  your  command  on  the  ground,  make  rapid  decisions,  and  make 
them  well,  because  on  them  depends  the  life  of  the  men  who  follow  you, 
and  therefore  they  are  the  very  element  of  success.  Then  perfect  your 
instruction  by  going  into  details,  particularly  into  those  which  concern 
the  specialties  born  of  this  war.  You  will  see  according  as  you  study 
them  what  value  they  have.  For  him  who  has  faith,  the  command  of  a 
company  under  fire  has  a  powerful  attraction.  One  of  my  comrades 
said,  "War  would  have  passionate  interest  without  shells,  bullets,  mud  or 
barbed  wire."  He  was  right,  but  he  could  have  added,  at  the  risk  of 
complimenting  himself:  "It  is  that  which  makes  it  inspiring." 

If  I  have  had  some  influence  on  the  course  of  your  military  instruc- 
tion, I  am  happy  and  grateful.  My  help  would  have  been  impossible 
without  your  indulgence  and  good  will.  I  thank  you  with  all  my  heart. 
1  thank  your  instructors  who  have  made  my  task  easy,  Colonel  Ryan. 
Commandant  of  the  Camp;  Lieut. -Col.  Stacey,  senior  instructor,  and  all 
the  officers,  my  comrades,  with  whom  we  have  co-operated  in  the  com- 
mon task.  In  particular  the  collaboration  which  Major  O.  N.  Solbert  and 
I  have  brought  to  bear  on  the  drawing  up  of  our  lectures  remains  as  one 
of  the  most  vivid  memories  of  my  mission  as  a  French  officer  in  this 
country. 

There  is  also  something  for  which  I  wish  to  thank  you  which  does 
not  transmit  itself  into  tangible  and  material   form.      It  is  the  sympathy

vs^hich  you  have  shown  me,  it  is  the  welcome  you  have  given  me  here.  I 
will  never  forget  the  sight  of  you  as  an  audience  w^hen  1  addressed  you. 
Your  eyes  were  so  bright  and  so  clear,  your  smiles  were  so  frank,  your 
appreciation  was  so  loyal  and  so  spontaneous,  that  fearful  at  the  begin- 
ning of  my  speech  to  hurl  myself  before  you  "over  the  top,"  I  felt  at  ease 
in  the  middle  of  it,  and  toward  the  end  1  did  not  v/ant  to  stop.  I  have 
come  to  love  you  as  I  have  loved  my  officers  and  my  chassesurs.  And  it  is 
not  without  a  heart  wrench  that  I  say  to  you'adieu."  I  do  not  think  there 
is  any  people  more  hospitable  than  yours.  In  the  circle  of  our  work,  in 
the  atmosphere  of  the  post,  you  have  proved  it  to  me,  as  I  have  felt  it 
with  emotion  in  the  larger  frame  of  the  social  life  of  America. 

And  now,  continue  to  work  until  the  end,  until  victory.  The  date  is 
inxmaterial,  since  it  w^ill  come.  I  have  even  heard  it  said  here  through 
courtesy  to  me  that  the  United  States  owed  a  debt  to  France,  because 
France  had  assisted  at  its  birth  and  at  the  beginning  of  its  formidable 
entrance  into  contemporary  history.  Be  that  as  it  may,  if  it  were  true  as 
those  pretend  who  do  not  know  us,  that  France  before  this  w^ar  w^as  very 
ill,  w^as  already  dead,  if  this  were  true,  then  you  may  be  sure  that  the 
great  American  Republic  will  assist  in  the  near  future  to  the  rebirth  of  the 
old,  but  always  glorious  France. 

CAPTAIN   G.    E.    BERTRAND, 
Sixth  Battalion  de  Chasseurs  Alpine, 
On  Mission  to  the  United  States  of  America. 

During  the  last  w^eek,  which  might  be  fittingly  entitled  "Worry  Week," 
there  w^ere  many  minor  happenings.  There  was  a  review^  by  the  Governors 
of  Kansas  and  Michigan  and  the  Commanding  Officer.  There  w^as  the  farewell 
reception  in  the  Gymnasium  on  the  last  Sunday  evening  with  addresses  by  the 
Commanding  Officer,  Colonel  James  A.  Ryan,  Major  E.  J.  Vattman,  Chaplain 
of  both  Camps;  W.  F.  Hypes,  representing  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  and  Myron  E. 
Adams,  Director  of  Morale. 

Those  w^ho  had  a  chance  to  look  the  three  regiments  in  the  face  that 
Sunday  night  as  one  after  another  they  marched  into  the  hall  and  took  their 
places,  will  not  soon  forget,  the  wonderful  good  spirit,  the  high  purpose  or  the 
strong  manliness  of  these  men.  It  was  the  privilege  of  a  lifetime  to  have  had 
these  associations — to  have  been  even  for  a  time  part  of  an  organization  that 
was  made  up   of  the  best  men  ever. 

There  w^ere  4,000  nervous,  anxious  men  trying  to  smile  and  w^ork  and 
sleep  that  last  w^eek,  but  "Their  minds  had  but  a  single  thought.  '  Those  w^ho 
had  been  at  the  First  Camp  w^ill  recall  the  same  experience.  All  pride,  con- 
fidence and  assurance  seemed  to  depart.  There  were  no  exceptions.  It  was  a 
week  of  real  humiliation. 

The  state  of  mind  was  hard  to  describe.  Probably  it  was  much  harder 
inside  than  even  the  outside  impression.  It  might  be  compared  to  a  man  just 
about  to  hear  the  decision  of  a  jury  that  is  to  acquit  or  convict  him;  a  man 
waiting  to  hear  what  his  beloved  is  going  to  say  to  his  proposal,  or  the  man 
who  hesitates  to  open  the  business  letter  on  his  desk  which  will  make  or 
break  him.

AN   AIRPLANE   VIEW   OF   THE   WOODEN   BARRACKS 


The  morning  finally  came  when  the  candidates  were  slated  to  appear 
before  the  examining  board.  They  didn't  say  much.  Some  sat  on  the  edges 
of  their  bunks,  others  walked  aimlessly  around.  The  company  humorist,  w^ith 
his  teeth  chattering,  tried  to  pull  something  funny,  but  it  sounded  like  a  laugh 
at  a  funeral.     They  looked  at  each  other  and  then  fell  to  musing. 

Then  the  sergeant,  as  nervous  as  the  rest  appeared,  and  with  an  air  about 
as  snappy  as  a  conscientious  objector  on  police  duty,  said  "Fall  in." 

They  fell  in.  It  w^as  the  strangest  company  formation  in  the  entire  Camp. 
Like  a  winding  snake  it  w^atched  outside  the  door.  Sometimes  w^hen  w^e  see 
some  self-confident  ?x-oflfiicer  striding  down  Michigan  avenue  we  think  of  how 
he  looked  that  morning  as  he  approached  the  judgment  place  where  sat 
Colonel  Ryan,  Major  Stacey  and  his  regimental  battalion  and  company  com- 
manders. 

The  door  opens.  A  name  is  called.  What  w^ill  it  mean?  Success  or 
failure — a  majority  or  nothing.  The  victim  steps  out — the  center  of  staring 
eyes  and  burdened  hearts.  He  starts  for  the  door — tries  to  smile,  but  no 
smile  will  come. 

He  has  planned  every  step  in  advance.  He  has  dreamed  about  it  all 
night — he  approaches  the  mess  hall  w^here  the  board  is  sitting,  stumbles  on  the 
step  and  almost  falls  headlong.  His  plans  are  gone — the  Red  Tape  is  cut 
into  smithereens.      The  door  opens  and  he  finds  himself  inside. 

What  is  he  there  for?  Shall  he  salute?  What  will  he  do  with  his  hands? 
Must  he  stand  at  attention  or  at  ease?  Should  he  smile  and  be  natural  or  be 
stern  and  severe?

FATHER   "WENT  WEST"    "OVER  THERE" 


"Your  name,"  someone  asks.  He  remembers  that.  Other  questions 
follow  equally  simple.  Are  they  asking  him  such  easy  ones  because  they  think 
he  doesn't  know  anything  more?  Then  they  ask  him  one  which  makes  him 
stumble  and  he  wishes  they  hadn't. 

They  don't  seem  to  be  listening  to  what  he  says  anyway.  They  are 
glancing  at  his  reports  on  that  piece  of  paper.  What  is  there  on  it?  Have 
they  located  the  time  he  dropped  his  gun  or  the  time  he  gave  the  wrong  com- 
mand and  spoiled  the  company  formation?  Has  the  company  commander 
noted  the  period  when  he  was  discouraged  and  blue  and  didn't  keep  up 
the  pace? 

Now  they  are  looking  the  candidate  over.  He  is  tall  and  thin;  he  wishes 
he  w^as  stocky  and  fat.  He  is  stout  and  short.  He  wishes  he  was  as  thin  as  a 
bean  pole.  He  is  past  forty.  He  wishes  he  was  twenty-five.  He  is  twenty- 
two.  He  wishes  he  was  past  forty.  He  is  a  college  graduate  and  a  lawyer — 
he  w^ishes  he  w^as  a  mechanic  or  a  miner.  Just  for  a  moment  to  be  somebody 
else,  the  man  they  are  looking  for. 

He  is  asked  other  questions.  Then  the  board  seems  to  be  in  a  dispute. 
Someone  is  against  him.      He  knew  it  all  the  time.      They  had   it   in   for  him 

because,  etc.      Then  a  crisp  command "That  will  do!      You  may  go!       What 

will  do?  Why  must  he  go?  Go  out  of  this  room  and  let  them  talk  about  him 
behind  his  back.      Not  he.      He  almost  forgets  he  is  a  soldier. 

He  looks  at  them.  They  are  no  longer  interested.  Another  number  and 
another  name  are  before  him.     Twenty-three  is  on  his  way.     He  must  do  some- 


398 


THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 


thing.  He  is  still  a  soldier.  There  is  something  a  soldier  does  when  he  with- 
draws from  his  superior  officer  even  when  he  is  sore.  Subconsciously  he  is 
sure  of  that.     He  hesitates,  hoping  it  will  come  to  him. 

His  head  does  not  work,  but  his  feet  will.  Suddenly  they  act.  He  opens 
the  door,  passes  out  into  the  open  air.  The  cool  breezes  waken  his  soldier 
sense.  HE  HAS  FORGOTTEN  TO  SALUTE!  Now  it  is  too  late.  What  a 
tale.  He  has  traveled  these  three  months  along  the  path  of  training  and  dis- 
cipline to  forget  the  simplest  act  of  army  discipline?  He  recognizes  his  com- 
rades who,  all  in  turn,  go  through  the  same  experience. 

The  commissions  w^ere  given  out  on  Monday  and  with  them  an  assign- 
ment to  duty.  Of  course  there  were  happy  surprises  and  disappointments. 
Some  three  thousand  new  officers  were  made  that  day  for  the  field  forces  of 
the  Army. 

One  unfortunate  rookie  who  had  carelessly  but  freely  shown  his  bunkies 
a  nice  pair  of  gold  oak  leaves  for  his  majority,  which  he  had  bought  at  the 
beginning  of  the  Camp  was  compelled  to  go  out  and  buy  the  single  gold  bar  of 
"the  shave-tail"  and  he  was  lucky  at  that. 

After  the  new^ly-commissioned  officers  had  seen  their  assignments  there 
was  many  changes  of  plan.  More  than  1,500  were  ordered  to  immediate 
service  overseas.  Some  to  put  into  practice  what  they  had  begun  to  learn  in 
the  protected  area  of  Fort  Sheridan. 

All  was  bustle  and  haste.  Only  time  to  buy  equipment,  to  say  good-bye 
to  friends  and  to  take  the  train  back  home  before  entering  on  the  great 
adventure. 

It  was  at  this  time  the  Fort  Sheri- 
dan Association  first  showed  its  w^orth, 
as  thousands  of  men  reaped  its  benefits 
in  decreased  cost  of  equipment  and 
loans  amounting  to  more  than  one  hun- 
dred and  fifty  thousand  dollars.  There 
was  a  deep  human  tie  in  the  Fort  Sheri- 
dan Camp  of  friendship  and  mutual  con- 
fidence out  of  which  such  an  idea  was 
born  and  made  practical.  It  w^as  with 
real  hope  of  a  perpetual  friendship  that 
these  days  were  ended. 

As  the  last  man  left  the  Camp  be- 
hind him  and  moved  toward  his  home 
and  afterward  tow^ard  the  great  test  be- 
yond, the  real  purpose  of  these  camps 
became  known  and  the  final  record  was 
written — written  in  the  service  of  thou- 
sands   of    leaders    in    camps    and    on    far 

battlefields.      Their  spirit  never  faltered.

THE   BATTLEFIELD   OF   SERGY 

(Cabled  by  an  Eye-witness) 

The  American  Front!  There's  a  meadow  of  memories  today  at  Sergy. 
Back  home  Americans  may  remember  the  thrill  they  got  when  they  read  in 
their  newspapers  how  husky  American  doughboys  met  the  flower  of  the 
German  Army — the  picked  Prussian  Guard — and  licked  him  in  good  Ameri- 
can fashion.  They  may  recall  that  Sergy  changed  hands  nine  times  in  the 
fighting  that  swayed  back  and  forth  over  the  town  and  the  field.  They  may 
know  now,  as  was  stated  then,  that  not  a  battlefield  in  all  battle-torn  France 
has  seen  more  desperate  conflict  than  this. 

But  today  all  is  sunny  and  peaceful  around  Sergy.  One  must  look  be- 
neath the  fast-growing  wheat  and  oats  of  the  green  hillside  to  see  the  countless 
evidences  of  the  battle.  Only  it  is  a  strange  carpet  and  one  that  has  not  yet, 
in  a  month's  time,  had  time  to  weave  its  greenery  over  bare  graves,  pitifully 
bare,  under  which  repose  heroic  American  dead  and  over  which  defiantly 
waves  the  Red,  White  and  Blue  for  which  they  died  in  glory. 

Below  the  meadow  lies  Sergy,  the  powdered  ruin  of  a  city,  its  houses 
tumbled  in  shaky  cardboard  shapes  where  American  artillery  and  American 

machine  gun  fire even  American  hands — pulled  it  down,  but  it  is  the  ground 

above  that  thrills  the  most.  Almost  every  square  yard  has  its  evidence  of  how 
Americans  fought  and  died.  Not  a  month's  kindly  sunshine  and  cooling  rains, 
not  even  the  Army  of  Reclamation  that  travels  back  of  the  Army  of  Occupa- 
tion has  yet  effaced  these  marks  of  conflict. 

The  dead  are  gone,  of  course.  Crosses  rear  above  the  grass.  The  sun 
slants  on  American  identification  discs  tacked  to  the  arms,  showing  where 
American  dead  sleep  in  the  peace  that  knows  no  wars. 

Back  in  a  little  clump  of  woods  above  the  slope,  American  soldiers  evi- 
dently prepared  for  battle.  Still  tucked  in  a  splinter  of  sapling — cut  down 
by  a  German  shell — is  a  bit  of  trench  mirror.  Some  husky  American  boy 
smoothed  his  hair  by  its  reflection,  perhaps  shaved  as  he  joyously  prepared 
for  battle. 

Here  it  was  also  that  these  boys  stripped  for  action.  An  overcoat  lies 
dropped  on  the  ground  exactly  as  it  was  thrown  from  some  pair  of  stalwart 
shoulders  as  they  sturdily  bore  an  American  rifle  forward  toward  Germany. 

A  shattered  rifle  butt  tells  another  story. 

In  two  or  three  hurriedly  scooped  out  shelters,  there  are  still  blue-green 
German  uniforms — their  wearers  killed  or  fled  back  as  the  Americans  came 
victoriously  on. 

A  perfect  litter  of  letters,  of  shaving  paste,  of  toothbrushes,  of  extra 
shoes,   of  broken  belts,   predominates  everywhere  as   one   walks  onward   and 


400 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

downward  toward  Sergy.  They  crunch  under  foot.  They  lie  in  heaps  and 
mounds  next  to  tiny  Httle  scoops  in  the  ground  w^here  some  American  boys 
stooped  close  to  get  shelter  from  the  deadly  rain  of  steel  and  lead  that  swept 
into  their  faces.  They  line  the  rims  of  queer  inverted  cone-shaped  holes  in 
the  ground  that  one  know^s  from  the  churned-up  soil,  where  shells  from  the 
German  batteries  landed. 

Splinters  of  those  same  shells  clanked  with  metallic  sound  with  the  empty 
cartridge  shells.  American  "tin  hats'  are  strewn  around.  Some  are  seared 
and  torn,  some  are  punctured  in  such  fashion  that  one  knows  that  if  worn  the 
head  it  covered  must  have  been  torn. 

Further  on  down,  thrice  as  much  litter  tells  where  the  German  line  finally 
wavered  and  broke  and  swept  back  on  Sergy.  The  gray-green  overcoats, 
tunics,  gas  masks  and  even  small  tent  flaps  proclaim  eloquently  how  hot  must 
have  been  the  fighting  there  and  how^  hurriedly  the  Boche  slipped  dow^n  the 
hill  in  front  of  the  Americans. 

Here  and  there  is  an  American  uniform,  not  many,  but  they  show  how 
the  two  lines  must  have  met  and  struggled  back  and  forth. 

Just  back  of  this  someone  has  mercifully  ploughed  under  what  must  have 
been  the  greatest  ruin  and  litter  of  all. 

One  comes  almost  to  the  village  and  looks  back  over  the  greening 
ground;  silhouetted  on  the  horizon  a  new  forest  has  grown  up.  It  is  a  forest  of 
American  graves  and  American  crosses  w^here  the  seeds  of  death  sow^n  in  that 
inferno  have  blossomed  their  crop. 

Close  to  the  winding  country  road  is  one  group  just  a  little  more  pre- 
tentious than  the  rest. 

One  cross  stands  a  little  more  proudly  erect  in  its  vigil  over  the  sleeping 
legions.  It  broods  over  two  srrialler  ones  inclosed  in  a  rudely  constructed  little 
fence.  One  goes  closer.  The  largest  cross  bears  on  its  sw^eeping  arm,  written 
in  black  pencil,  the  inscription  "Lieutenant  Lee  N.  Wall,  St.  Louis,  Missouri" 
[18th  Co.  2nd  Fort  Sheridan  R.  O.  T.  C.  | .  And  below,  half-obliterated  by 
the  rain  and  weather  are  w^ritten  the  lines,  "He  met  his  God  like  a  soldier." 
And  below  boldly,  so  that  all  may  read:  "Killed  in  action,  July  31st,  1918." 
Atop  the  cross,  tacked  on,  is  the  gold  bar  that  the  lieutenant  once  bore  so 
gallantly  on  his  shoulder. 

The  two  graves  on  either  side  show  he  died  beside  two  of  his  own  dough- 
boys— an  officer  fighting  side  by  side  with  his  men. 

One  hesitates  to  push  back  a  fast-coloring  and  slowly  yellowing  slip  of 
cardboard  that  is  tacked  square  on  the  grass  where  Lieutenant  Wall  lies;  but 
one  edge  shows  the  face  of  a  smilingly  happy  baby  and  the  ink  on  the  back  of 
the  photograph  carried  some  inscription  of  love  and  cheer. 

There  is  a  memory  in  every  inch  of  Sergy. 

There  w^ill  be  memories  ever  proud  in  the  hearts  of  mothers,  sisters, 
fathers,  brothers  and  friends  of  those  w^ho  lie  buried  there. 

There  must  be  a  reverent  memory  in  the  hearts  of  all  Americans  who 
may  come  later  to  know  what  Sergy  meant.

from  the  Prussian  Guards  and  took  twenty-five  prisoners.  The  guns  were 
then  used  with  effect  in  driving  the  enemy  from  their  positions.  "

HIS   POSTHUMOUS   LETTER   TO    HIS    MOTHER 
Mother: 

If  such  a  thing  should  happen  that  some  Hun  should  beat  me  to  it,  I  w^ant 
my  family  should  feel  only  proud  that  I  was  permitted  to  die  for  so  just  a 
cause  and  that  you,  my  Mother  and  sisters  were  permitted  to  give  your  son 
and  brother  to  this  Cause. 

Don  t  let  anyone  console  you  about  your  "poor  son."  I'm  not  your  "poor 
son."  I  may  not  be  so  wealthy  so  far  as  earthly  treasures  go  but  have  indeed 
been  rich  in  being  able  to  give  what  1  have,  and  you  have,  to  my  country,  and 
you  may  be  sure  that  I  went  out  like  a  man;  with  my  face  toward  the  foe,  a 
smile  on  my  lips  and  a  prayer  in  my  heart. 

I'm  only  sorry  for  you,  and  that  my  Father  couldn't  have  been  proud  of 
me  too,  in  this.

A  MOTHERS  TRIBUTE  TO  HER  DISTINGUISHED  SON, 
PAUL  DERRICKSON 

"Dear  Sir: 

"Your  kind  sympathy  so  much  appreciated.  I  have  tried  so  often  to 
write  you  but  sometimes  I  must  say  it  is  impossible. 

"I  have  received  so  many  letters  from  his  college  presidents,  his  pro- 
fessors, his  employers  covering  his  w^ork  from  the  age  of  fifteen.  It  has  been 
so  comforting  to  me  to  know  that  other  people  always  appreciated  him.  I 
w^ant  to  tell  you  a  few  things  about  my  boy  so  that  you  will  know  him 
better  too. 

"From  his  boyhood  he  was  always  so  fond  of  me,  and  used  to  say  he 
was  going  to  be  a  great  man  some  day,  so  at  the  age  of  fifteen  he  finished  gram- 


THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 403 

mar  school  and  went  to  New  York.  There  he  stayed  for  two  years  working 
during  the  day  for  one  firm  from  7  a.  m.  until  6  p.  m. — for  another  from  8 
p.  m.  to   12  p.  m.  and  on  Sundays  for  another. 

Then  he  came  home  and  worked  two  years  more.  By  that  time  he  went 
to  the  academy,  working  always  at  some  extra  task.  Later  he  entered  Dwight 
working  at  night  as  advertising  agent  for  the  New  York  Times.  The  next  fall 
he  entered  Washington  and  Lee  University.  There  he  was  manager  of  the 
college  paper,  also  the  Student  Hotel  for  a  while  until  he  found  he  could  not 
stand  it  all. 

He  worked  all  vacation  until  he  graduated  at  law,  then  went  to  Chicago 
and  worked  in  the  Executive  Department  of  Sears,  Roebuck  &  Co.  At  night 
he  attended  Kent  Law  School. 

"To  the  best  of  my  knowledge  he  has  not  taken  three  weeks'  vacation 
since  he  was  twelve  years  of  age  and  I  have  not  bought  him  a  suit  of  clothes 
since  then  or  given  him  a  dollar.  Now,  that  was  not  because  he  had  to,  that 
was  the  unusual  part  of  the  boy,  but  because  he  was  so  responsible,  so  inde- 
pendent and  he  was  always  helping  others. 

"His  father  died  in  1913  just  as  he  was  entering  college.  Of  course  after 
that  I  could  not  help  him,  but  before  I  could  if  he  would  let  me.  His  friends 
who  knew  him  best  have  told  me  since,  he  had  done  work  enough  for  any  man 
at  the  age  of  fifty. 

"He  had  just  attained  the  place  where  it  was  not  so  hard  for  him  to  go 
forward  and  enjoy  some  ease  when  Uncle  Sam  called.  He  asked  for  the 
privilege  of  being  the  first  to  register  in  his  district  and  was  granted  it. 

"It  was  so  hard  for  me  to  let  him  go,  as  his  brother  was  already  a  member 
of  the  National  Guard,  4th  Virginia.  I  felt  that  if  one  went  that  I  should  have 
one  left  at  home  to  take  care  of  his  sister  and  me.  But  when  I  would  argue, 
he  would  say,  'Mamma,  you  did  not  raise  slackers.  I  can  do  more  really  fight- 
ing for  you  than  I  can  staying  back.' 

"Then  I  would  say,  Son,  why  w^ill  you  and  your  brother  go  to  the  slaugh- 
ter pen  as  I  see  the  infantry?'  He  would  say,  'Mother  our  physical  examina- 
tions are  perfect.'  Then  he  went  to  the  Fort  Sheridan  Officers  Training  Camp. 
A  year  ago  yesterday  he  wired  me  these  words:  'Mamma,  my  happiest  Thanks- 
giving I  made  my  commission.' 

"From  then  until  Christmas  he  traveled  for  Uncle  Sam  downing  German 
propaganda,  arriving  home  Christmas  day.  He  gave  all  of  his  time  after  the 
camp  to  the  government  except  the  brief  stay  for  the  holidays. 

"On  the  eleventh  of  January,  he  and  1  went  to  New  York  City  to  report 
for  overseas.  He  sailed  January  20,  1918.  All  his  letters  were  so  cheerful, 
begging  me  not  to  worry,  he  was  coming  back  so  much  better  than  he  went 
over.  That  was  his  plan,  but  God  willed  it  otherwise.  He  sent  a  letter  to  his 
brother-in-law  for  me  written  May  1  5th  to  be  opened  in  case  the  enemy 
knocked  him  out  for  good,  and  in  that  letter  as  r\\\  others,  he  still  planned  for 
me  as  if  he  was  going  on  a  long  journey.  And  his  last  message  was  'Au  revoir 
till  we  meet  again.'

MOTHER— READ  BEFORE  CONGRESS 

"Somewhere-in-France,   June    12,    19 18. 

"My  dear  Mother:  I  am  about  to  go  into  battle  and  have  instructed  the 
company  clerk  to  send  you  this  letter  in  case  I  become  a  casualty,  hence  the 
receipt  of  this  letter  by  you  will  indicate  that  I  am  either  with  God  or  a  pris-

oner  in  the  hands  of  the  enemy.  Since  I  will  never  become  a  prisoner  of  the 
Huns,  if  1  remain  conscious  and  able  to  fight,  it  is  doubtful  if  I  will  ever  be  an 
inmate  of  a  German  prison  camp. 

"Do  not  grieve  that  I  am  among  the  missing,  but  rather  rejoice  that  you 
have  given  a  son  in  sacrifice  to  make  the  greatest  military  caste  of  all  times 
lay  down  the  sword,  to  save  civilization,  to  prevent  future  wars,  to  punish  the 
Huns — who   have  disregarded    every  law^   of   God   and   mankind,    w^hose   only 

god   is  the  god   of  w^ar  and   military   force and   to  make   the   world   safe  for 

democracy.  1  desire  that  you  view  the  matter  in  the  light  and  spirit  of  the 
Spartan  mothers  of  old,  who,  when  their  sons  went  forth  to  battle  for  freedom 
and  their  native  land,  said  to  their  sons:  Either  come  home  proudly  bearing 
your  shield  before  you  or  upon  it.' 

"War  was  absolutely  necessary  on  the  part  of  my  country,  and,  although 
I  was  34  years  old  and  nobody  expected  me  to  go,  yet  some  one  had  to  go; 
some  one  must  make  the  sacrifice;  some  mother  must  lose  her  son. 

"In  the  light  of  these  facts,  and  know^ing  our  country's  great  need,  I 
volunteered  and  have  never  for  one  moment  regretted  my  decision,  and  I  wU 
not,  although  my  life  and  the  useful  career  must  end.  Life  is  not  the  highest 
boon  of  existence.  There  are  ideals  that  are  superhuman,  interests  greater 
than  life  itself,   for  w^hich  it  is  w^orth  AA^hile  fighting,  suffering  and  dying. 

"If  possible,  after  the  war,  I  would  like  for  my  remains  to  be  brought  to 
America  and  interred  at  White  Hall.  I  have  provided  well  for  your  support, 
as  I  have  a  $10,000  insurance  policy  with  the  Government  and  several  thou- 
sand with  the  old-line  companies.  My  friend,  Thompson,  and  Jess  have  these 
policies  and  other  valuable  papers. 

"Good-bye,  mother;  I  w^ill  see  you  in  the  next  w^orld.  You  may  know^ 
that  I  died  fighting  for  you,  my  country,  and  all  that  life  holds  dear. 

"Your  son,  ADRIAN." 


A  CITATION 

Theodore  Hoyer  1 9th  Company,  Second  Fort  Sheridan  R.  O.  T.  C.  ], 
serving  with  the  famous  Second  Division  in  the  Chateau  Thierry  Drive,  who 
had  been  through  the  hard  fighting  of  many  days,  w^rites  to  his  w^ife  on  the 
Fourth  of  July,    1918,   as  follows: 

"On  the  Fourth  of  July  I  was  in  the  front  line.  A  number  of  men  from 
each  company  were  sent  to  Paris  to  represent  the  division.  On  returning, 
these  men  told  me  that  the  orators  in  the  various  banquet  halls  all  referred  to 
our  Division  as  the  glorious  regiments  which  saved  Paris.'  Nothing  in  Paris 
was  too  good  for  these  boys.  Naturally,  w^e  are  quite  proud  now.  While 
Paris  w^as  celebrating  the  Fourth,  w^e  were  being  mercilessly  shelled  in  our 
position.  A  feeling  of  great  exhilaration  w^ent  through  my  w^hole  being  w^hen 
I  thought  that  1,  poor  little  IQ,  should  be  on  the  line  doing  my  little  bit,  but 
yet  my  best  bit,  in  holding  the  line,  so  that  the  people  back  there  in  Paris  might 
enjoy  the  Fourth.  It  shall  always  be  the  greatest  Fourth  of  July  in  my  expe- 
rience. Many  men  w^ere  decorated  by  General  Pershing  for  special  bravery, 
and  they  deserve  the  honor.  As  for  me,  it  took  all  my  physical  energy  and 
moral  stamina  to  carry  out  my  orders.  Don't  expect  any  hero  stunts  from  me. 
A  few^  who  want  to  be  especially  heroic  come  out  alive,  but  most  of  them  die. 
This  is  no  w^ar  for  grandstand  plays.  Hard,  earnest  w^ork  and  saving  of  your 
ow^n  men  s  lives,  if  you  can  do  so  and  still  carry  out  orders,  is  my  policy.  If 
orders  come  to  gain  an  objective  which  cannot  be  got  except  through  a  spe- 
cially difficult  and  heroic  effort,  why  then,  of  course,  we  shall  not  fail  to  play 


THE     SECOND     OFFICERS'     TRAINING     CAMP 405 

our  part;  you  can  trust  us  for  that.  But  I  have  never  beHeved  in  having  your 
men  slaughtered  uselessly.  This  is  a  Hun  idea,  not  an  American.  As  it  is, 
I  have  lost  more  men  than  I  care  to  tell  about." 

Shortly  afterward.   Lieutenant  Hoyer  was  killed. 

Here  is  the  letter  w^hich  his  Commanding  Officer  w^rote,  concerning  the 
manner  of  his  death: 

On  July  I  8th  your  husband,  who  w^as  an  officer  in  my  company,  attacked 
the  Germans  along  w^ith  the  rest  of  us,  at  a  point  just  about  southw^est  of 
Soissons.  I  saw  him  just  as  the  company  started  out.  He  was  at  the  head  of 
his  platoon,  and  strolling  along  as  though  out  for  a  pleasure  walk.  After  the 
battle  I  learned  from  his  men  that  he  w^as  calm  and  cool  during  the  w^hole 
attack;  and  that  his  actions  and  his  manner  of  unconcern  for  the  bullets  that 
were  flying  about  gave  them  great  confidence  and  courage. 

"Lieutenant  Hoyer  carried  his  platoon  through  to  the  objective  and  then 
ordered  the  men  to  'dig  in'  and  get  under  cover.  While  they  w^ere  doing  this 
he  noticed  several  wounded  men,  lying  in  the  open,  exposed  to  machine  gun 
fire  and  snipers'  bullets.  He  called  for  volunteers  to  go  with  him  to  bring  in 
the  wounded  and,  with  two  non-commissioned  officers,  he  went  out  and  car- 
ried back  three  of  the  wounded.  He  started  on  his  second  trip,  but  just  as  he 
passed  a  stone  w^all  several  rifles  opened  fire  on  the  party  and  your  husband, 
w^ho  was  in  the  lead,  fell  forward  on  his  face.  The  rifle  fire  was  getting  very 
close  to  them,  so  the  other  men  had  to  leave  Lieutenant  Hoyer  and  get 
under  fire. 

"I  was  your  husband's  company  commander  and  I  thought  a  great  deal 
of  him,  as  a  soldier  and  as  a  gentleman — all  of  the  men  were  very  fond  of 
him,  too.  " 


Here  is  a  strange  aftermath  of  the  War — a  type  of  heroism  which  happens 
not  merely  at  the  front,  but  wherever  real  men  face  a  great  emergency. 

Among  the  many  instructors  at  the  First  Fort  Sheridan  Camp  w^as  a 
Captain  of  Artillery  named  Harold  Hubert  Bateinan.  He  w^as  28  years  old 
w^hen  the  war  started.  He  had  been  in  the  army  since  1909,  served  two  years 
in  the  Philippines,  was  in  the  Mexican  Expeditionary  Forces,  and  had  been 
instructor  at  Fort  Sheridan  and  Plattsburg.  During  the  w^ar  he  commanded 
the  1  6th  Field  Artillery  of  the  Fourth  Division,  in  the  Chateau  Thierry,  Marne, 
St.  Mihiel  and  Argonne-Meuse  offensives,  where  he  made  a  name  for  himself, 
both  as  to  his  ability  and  his  courage.  He  typified  all  that  w^as  best  in  the 
Regular  Army  officer;  a  very  quiet,  simple  man,  thoroughly  interested  in  his 
w^ork,  efficient  in  his  know^ledge  of  artillery  operations  and  wonderfully  inter- 
ested in  the  care  of  the  men  who  served  under  him.  He  was  the  kind  of  a 
man  that  would  be  followed  blindly  by  his  men,  not  merely  because  he  was 
courageous,  but  because  he  had  a  real  gift  in  showing  his  consideration  for 
them.  He  knew^  that  the  power  to  command  was  not  an  arbitrary  one,  but 
that  it  grew  out  of  the  mutual  relationship  of  dependency  between  officers 
and  men. 

After  returning  from  his  services  abroad.  Colonel  Bateman  was  stationed 
at  Fort  Sill,  Okla.  Late  on  July  4,  1919,  Private  Joe  Bukoby,  of  the  14th 
Field  Artillery,  was  riding  along  the  bank  near  Medicine  Creek.  Colonel 
Bateman  had  been  fishing  nearby  and  saw  Private  Bukoby  thrown  from  his 
horse  in  a  deep  and  dangerous  water.  As  the  man  was  unable  to  swim. 
Colonel  Bateman  rushed  to  his  assistance  and  swam  out  to  him.  The  soldier 
grabbed  hold  of  Colonel  Bateman  in  such  a  w^ay  as  to  prevent  him  from 
giving  any  material  assistance.  The  Colonel  could  have  broken  the  hold  and 
left  the  man  to  his  fate,  but  he  refused  to  do  this.     He  tried  his  best  to  struggle 


406 THE     FORT     SHERIDAN     ASSOCIATION 

with  the  soldier  and  to  bring  him  back  in  safety  to  the  bank,  but  both  sank. 
They  rose  to  the  surface  and  Captain  LeGette,  who  had  been  nearby,  rushed 
in  and  tried  to  help  him,  but  all  three  went  down.  Captain  LeGette,  however, 
was  able  to  save  himself,  and  the  Colonel  of  the  regiment  and  the  private  in 
the  ranks,  w^ith  their  arms  about  each  other,  lay  down  in  Hoyl's  Hole  in 
Medicine  Creek.  Colonel  Bateman  leaves  a  w^ife  and  a  little  girl.  It  is  not 
in  vain  that  a  Lieutenant  Colonel,  commanding  a  regiment,  should  offer  up  the 
supreme  sacrifice  for  an  enlisted  man  that  happened  not  to  be  even  a  member 
of  his  own  command. 


A  LETTER 

In  closing,  just  a  word  from  the  bravest  of  the  brave a  wife  and  three 

little  girls  who  gave  their  best  with  as  brave  a  heart  as  the  strongest  w^ho  went 
over  the  top: 

"I  wish  I  were  able  to  tell  you  how  much  your  kind  letter  meant  to  me 
at  the  time  when  there  was  such  a  great  big  ache  in  our  hearts,  but  words  seem 
to  fail,  and  I  can  only  say  to  you,  and  to  Mr.  Moseley's  |  Captain  Arthur  Eames 
Moseley,  2  3rd  Company,  Second  R.  O.  T.  C.  |  Brother  Officers,  'Thank  you,' 
not  only  for  your  kind  expressions  of  sympathy,  but  for  your  interest  in  us. 
We  have  three  little  girls:  Lily,  aged  twelve;  Frances,  ten,  and  Olive,  nine. 
Lily  is  in  the  seventh  grade;  Frances  in  the  sixth,  and  Olive  in  the  fourth. 

"They  have  been  very  brave  and  a  great  comfort  to  me.  They  said, 
while  their  eyes  were  filled  with  tears.  Mother,  dear,  you  know  Daddy  died 
just  like  he  would  have  chosen  to  die,  right  in  the  front  line,  leading  his  men, 
and  we  are  just  going  to  help  you  do  all  we  can,  until  victory  is  won.' 

"Of  course,  we  get  dreadfully  lonely  sometimes,  but  there  is  only  joy 
in  our  hearts  that  we  were  able  to  give  our  very  best  for  the  cause  of  freedom. 
His  sacrifice  and  ours  was  made  willingly,  and  we  are  trusting  daily  for  strength 
for  every  need,  and  our  Heavenly  Father  is  not  failing  us.  " 


"To  such  lives  there  is  no  end"
